The following paper discusses the data protection issues of health applications on the background of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It uses as an example the technology under development in the H2020 STARR Project. The analysis focuses especially on the problems of loss of control over the data processing in a smart environment by such application users, which is related to the topics of transparency of the processing, accountability of the controller and the potential for data abuse. The article examines in how far the GDPR offers a good solution to these issues.
