Collaborating for Digital Health and Care in Europe

The focus of this session was entirely on the data space. Once implemented, the EHDS Regulation will interconnect the primary and secondary uses of health data. Furthermore, with the rights given to all individuals to access, download, and share their health data, one can expect that the emergence of citizen-centric data ecosystems will complement the traditional clinician-centric relationship. This session offered the possibility to reflect on the implications of these paradigm shifts. Discussions centred around practical questions like how to involve stakeholders; how to involve both frontrunners and latecomers; how to define data quality; and how to obtain medical data from clinicians.
