• support the free movement of citizens in the EU
• promote an EU market for electronic patient record systems, medical devices and high-risk systems with artificial intelligence (primary data use) 
• create a coherent, secure and efficient structure for the use of health data for research, innovation, policy-making and legislation (secondary data use)
