About CHERRY SmartLink 

The SaaS-solution CHERRY SmartLink enables the use of NFC-enabled smartphones as eHealth card terminals for reading the electronic health card (eGK). In this context, CardLink is used to provide the e-prescription tokens and, as a pure software solution, is therefore a new offering from CHERRY SE. 

This solution makes it possible to integrate a tested and approved interface into apps in order to securely redeem the e-prescription via CardLink. Users hold their eGK to their NFC-enabled smartphone.
