Example: telemedicine & patient app for a tourism business in Las Palmas

Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR and LOPDGDD, and success would be measured on direct booking share, occupancy and guest satisfaction.
Example: telemedicine & patient app for a fintech business in Bilbao
Consider a fintech company in Bilbao (industry, energy and banking). A typical telemedicine & patient app engagement would start with e-prescriptions, then ehr integration, and finish the first release with payments & insurance — usually within 10–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Bizum, data would be handled under EU GDPR and LOPDGDD, and success would be measured on onboarding completion rate, time to approve an application and fraud loss rate.

EU GDPR and LOPDGDD: compliance checklist for a telemedicine & patient app
Before launch in Spain, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR and LOPDGDD.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Spain customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Spain.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a telemedicine & patient app in Spain
For clients in Spain we usually host on AWS eu-south-2 (Spain), Azure Spain Central, Google Cloud Madrid. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR and LOPDGDD requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
