Imagining a citizen-centric health data ecosystem

online

2021 sympo no people

Symposium focus:

Change is a constant. Today, Europe is focused on the digital decade. In health and care, the spotlight is on the use of digital and the use of data. This focus is magnified by the damage dealt to many systems and people by the COVID-19 experience. Europe’s healthcare systems are already seeing a massive shift in the debate about the use of digital and data.  

Movement is taking place from discussions about patients’ own access to their health and care data. The new orientation is towards citizen’s control of much wider forms of data. As a result, many questions are pending about citizens’ capacity to share this data and what to get in return. Undoubtedly, this will lead to many new data services and novel sources of data. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already playing a massive role in this new arena: from 2022 onwards, it is likely to play a far more influential one.  

The challenge is how to govern and regulate these world-changing developments, from a European angle. EHTEL’s 2021 Symposium will help you understand and potentially navigate the future of European data governance and the Union’s ‘AI Act’. It will build on and create synergies with EHTEL’s associated work on Imagining 2029 and the European Health Data Space
