Help shape the European health data space!
The European Commission [https://ec.europa.eu/info/index_en] invites
members of the public, organisations, and stakeholders in the digital
and public health sector to a consultation on the European health data
space (EHDS). The access to, and exchange of, health data is vital to
ensure the availability and affordability of health care and to
support the creation of innovative solutions that make use of digital
technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, collecting
and re-using health data is often challenging as it involves personal
data. 

For this public consultation, the Commission particularly calls upon
national public health, digital health and data protection
authorities, data authorisation bodies, healthcare professionals and
providers, health insurers, patients and civil society organisations,
research institutions, ethics committees, trade unions, and digital,
pharmaceutical and medical devices industries. 

Contributions to this consultation will help the Commission gain
important insights, opinions, and evidence for the creating the EDHS,
and identify problems to be tackled, and policy options to be
considered. Submit your views
