eHealth advisory from Tallinn
Healthspace advises healthcare organisations and public agencies on digital health: strategy, system architecture, interoperability and governance.
Ten years inside Estonia's national digital health infrastructure, including responsibility for services in daily use nationwide.
What we do
Focused advice in four areas.
Digital health strategy
What to build, what to buy, in what order, and what to leave alone. We help set direction that fits your institutions, budget and timeline, and holds up when procurement starts.
Typical outputs: roadmap, priorities, investment case.
System architecture
Independent assessment of existing health information systems and advice on where to take them, including what each choice takes to run in daily operation.
Typical outputs: assessment, target architecture, transition plan.
Interoperability
Advice on health data exchange within organisations, nationally and across borders: standards, terminology and infrastructure. Built on years of hands-on work with Estonia's national health data exchange, including the world's first cross-border ePrescription service.
Typical outputs: interoperability maturity assessment, terminology and exchange model.
Governance & regulation
Aligning digital health work with EU and national requirements, from data protection and patient rights to the European Health Data Space.
Typical outputs: roles, decision model, regulatory assessment.

Who you'll work with
Healthspace is the advisory practice run by Tõnis Jaagus.
Tõnis Jaagus
Founder & advisor
Before founding Healthspace, Tõnis spent ten years in the institutions behind Estonia's national e-health services. Most recently he led the health domain at TEHIK, the Estonian Health and Welfare Information Systems Centre, the state agency that runs the national health information system.
His portfolio covered the services Estonians use every day: the patient portal, the national e-booking system and the data services clinicians work with. Before TEHIK, he managed the national eHealth programme at the Ministry of Social Affairs. He serves on the board of the Estonian Medical Informatics Association.
Healthspace brings that operating experience to organisations planning, reviewing or reshaping their own digital health services and systems.
