Product information,
reimagined.

One global standard to replace static PDFs, fragmented XML, and proprietary regulatory formats.

Get Started

Why the world is adopting ePI

A single FHIR-based document model that enables safety, speed, and global interoperability.

🌍
One Global Standard

Stop managing regional XML variations. Use a single HL7 FHIR baseline to build once, then localize to suit any local regulatory requirements.

🛡️
Patient Safety

Machine-readable ingredients and interactions allow health systems to flag allergies and interactions automatically.

📦
Supply Chain Agility

Query therapeutic alternatives instantly during drug shortages. Cross-border substitute packaging at your fingertips.

🔗
Digital Interoperability

Feed authoritative label data directly into ePrescribing, EMRs, and patient-facing mobile apps.

Scope

✅ In Scope

All medicinal drug products for human use — including Healthcare Professional labels (SmPC), Patient labels (PIL), Instructions for Use (IFU), and pack artwork.

🔜 Future Phases

Medical devices, Veterinary Drugs, and Natural Health Products. These will be addressed in future iterations of the standard.
