ELSA is a communication software module developed for the protection of the connection between your workstation and eHealth. It also allows you to connect to both eHealth with a single sign-on at a single site. It is provided freely to participating eHealth HCPs but you will be asked to read and agree to the ELSA licence terms before installation.

eHealth does not require significant hardware resources and could normally run on small capacity PCs. However, if your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirement, you may experience system performance degradation and you may need to close other applications while using eHealth.

Under most environments, eHealth will run but you may find that some screen displays are distorted, some buttons cannot be clicked, or the system performance may be degraded.

Microsoft has ended support for these products which means that Microsoft will no longer publicly distribute security updates for them anymore (Please refer to the Microsoft official websites for further details). As a result, your PC could be vulnerable to harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. From the security point of view, they are not an officially supported platform for eHealth and you are strongly advised to upgrade to a supported platform so as to protect the valuable information on your PC.
