Sorsix has completed its first participation at IHE Europe Connectathon 2026, held in Brussels as part of IHE Europe Connectathon Week. Across five days of live interoperability testing, the team completed 158 tests across 9 IHE profiles, validating real-world data exchange scenarios with other health IT systems in one of Europe’s most demanding testing environments.
What the Connectathon tests
IHE Europe Connectathon is one of the most rigorous interoperability testing events in healthcare IT. Vendors, including Philips, Sectra, GE HealthCare, and others, bring live systems into a shared testing environment and validate real data exchange scenarios under real conditions.
These are not simulated demonstrations. Each test includes multiple verification steps, and many are conducted between vendors, requiring both systems to achieve successful interoperability in real time.
158 tests across 9 profiles
Over five days, the Sorsix team completed 158 tests across 9 IHE profiles - a strong result for a first-time participant at an event of this scale.
Testing was carried out using Pinga®, Sorsix’s integrated digital health platform. This enabled the team to test realistic workflows through a fully integrated system rather than relying on standalone testing tools, reflecting the product’s readiness for real-world interoperability scenarios.
Participation in the Xt-EHR Projectathon
Running alongside the Connectathon was the Xt-EHR Projectathon, focused on the implementation guides that will support the future exchange of electronic health records across Europe as part of the European Health Data Space (EHDS).
Sorsix also participated in the Projectathon testing. Following the closing ceremony, Jürgen Brandstätter, Co-Chair of IHE Europe and Board Member of IHE International, commented:
“I don't have anything to say about Sorsix. This slide tells everything. The company that covered the most realistic flows with the most successful tests.”
A strong milestone in interoperability
For Sorsix and Pinga®, Connectathon 2026 marks an important milestone in their continued work on healthcare interoperability and cross-border health data exchange.
The results in Brussels reflect both the team’s preparation and the strength of the platform used throughout testing, as Europe moves closer to EHDS implementation.
