Prescriptions for medicines that are only available in pharmacies can be issued as electronic prescriptions (e-prescriptions resp. E-Rezepte) for people with public health insurance from 1 July 2021. The official gematik E-Rezept App (electronic prescription app) is available to receive and redeem prescriptions digitally. Anyone can download the app for free:
and login with the health card of the public health insurance. In July 2021, the e-prescription will start with a test phase, initially in the focus region Berlin-Brandenburg. The nationwide rollout will follow three month later in the fourth quarter.
The e-prescriptions are stored in the telematics infrastructure, for which gematik is responsible.

We plan to enable contribution to the E-Rezept App in the near future.
The E-Rezept App is licensed under the European Union Public Licence (EUPL); every use of the E-Rezept App Sourcecode must be in compliance with the EUPL.

run $ make setup to start developing locally. This will make sure all the dependencies are put in place and the Xcode-project will be generated and/or overwritten.
You'll need a running implementation of IDP and FD. A reference implementation for IDP and FD is available.
Documentation for setting up the entire system will be available at a later date.
The Xcode-project is generated using xcodegen.
The more complex build configuration(s) is done with the help of Fastlane. See the ./fastlane directory for full setup.
The App uses Apple's Combine.framework for operation scheduling. The UI-Layer is built with The Composable Architecture SwiftUI
The app is composed of several modules:
eRpAppis the iOS front-end (consumer facing) eRezept App.eRpKitbundles all non platform specific business logic.eRpLocalStorageandeRpRemoteStorageserve as the FHIR communication module to send and request all the eRezept resources and store them locally.Pharmacyhandles communication with the Pharmacy API.FHIRClientpowerseRpRemoteStorageandPharmacyby providing a generic FHIR interface (see FHIR for more information about the FHIR standard).HTTPClientprovides the interface for HTTP communication within the project.IDPis used for authentication against the eHealth network.VAUprovides an encrypted communication channel with the eHealth network.TrustStorevalidates trust with a given trust anchor and handles ocsp responses.
You can find more documentation about each module here.
We use sourcery to generate some data structures. Run $ sourcery to update generated code. The compiler will tell you, if you need to update the generated code by running sourcery in most cases. As sourcery is used as a weak (generated code is checked in, CI is not executing sourcery) dependency, you have to install sourcery manually by running $ brew install sourcery.
Run $ make build
Note: make sure you've ran $ make setup before and have code-signing setup for your local (or ci-build) build.
The underlying requirements can be found within the Gematik Fachportal. Search for "E-Rezept Frontend des Versicherten".
A mapping of these requirements can be found within the documentation. To generate the mapping from requirements to implementation run bundle exec fastlane list_requirements.
- Android and Huawei implementation
- Reference implementation of the IDP (IDentity Provider)
- Reference implementation of the FD (FachDienst)
