We are pleased to announce the release of TI-Messenger_25_3, the latest update to the TI-Messenger specifications. This release represents a significant step in advancing digital communication within the German healthcare system and provides the foundation for industry partners to develop innovative products for the telematics infrastructure (TI).

Key Updates in TI-Messenger_25_3

The new release introduces several important enhancements to the specifications, supporting the development of interoperable, secure, and efficient products:

  1. Launch of Deletion Concept v2
    The updated deletion concept improves clarity and efficiency in managing data lifecycles. This update ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and simplifies implementation for industry partners.

  2. Introduction of Provider Type Specification Sheet: TI-Messenger Pro
    A new and uniquely identifiable Provider Type Specification Sheet for TI-Messenger Pro has been introduced. This specification sheet outlines the normative requirements for providers of TI-Messenger services, ensuring secure, functional, and interoperable operation of service units and products.

  3. Refinements Based on External Feedback
    We have incorporated valuable feedback from external stakeholders into the specifications. These smaller adjustments reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration with the industry.

Validity and Certification Pathway

The new specifications have been published with the status ‘valid’, while existing specification sheets will remain in the status ‘certifiable’. This ensures a smooth transition for industry partners while maintaining continuity for current services.

To facilitate approvals under the new release, we are actively working on updating the test system, which is scheduled for deployment in March 2026. Once the updated test system is available, the new specifications will become the standard for product approvals.

Importantly, existing products based on previous specifications will remain fully operational. The old product specifications will retain their ‘valid’ status, meaning that products already deployed can continue to function seamlessly. Additionally, industry partners can still request follow-up client approvals for services based on specification sheets with the ‘valid’ status.
