Patient consent forms can be signed with a simple electronic signature (SES) under eIDAS. Under the GDPR you must be able to show that consent was given (Article 7(1)); a signed consent with audit trail helps with that. BuiltSign stores all data on EU servers. For specific medical-legal requirements in your country, consult a compliance specialist.
