June 19, 2025, is a key date for the ERNs. The CPMS 2.0 Mobile Apps are now available on Android and Apple stores, making it easier than ever to collaborate on clinical cases anywhere, anytime. At the same time, release 4.2 of the desktop version is live. It includes advanced search, audit logs, better meeting agendas, and an improved interface for assistants and admins. These updates bring more flexibility, while keeping strong data security. Looking ahead, an open-source version and user community are in development to expand CPMS 2.0 to new healthcare uses. A big thank you to everyone from the ERNs, DG SANTE, and partners who helped make this happen.
