The awards were presented at a function held at the Parliament of Catalonia and chaired by the Speaker of the Catalan Parliament, Núria de Gispert.
In the first edition of these awards in 2013 the jury, chaired by the director of the Catalan Data Protection Authority (APDCAT) Maria Àngels Barbarà, decided as follows:
Award: The TESIShce project, by SISinf SL
The TESIShce project is a solution for the management of electronic clinical records in large and medium-sized healthcare centres integrated into the HC3 (Shared Clinical Record in Catalonia) system. It incorporates an access system based on users/profiles which enables traceability and, in particular, includes an application that allows patients to determine the level of protection afforded to their personal data. They receive notification when a medical professional consults their clinical record and can even decide who may have access to such information.
