Lecturers: Dmitry Etin, Michel Silvestri, Rikard Lövström
Moderator: Maria Hassel
Track: The European Health Data Space; a health specific ecosystem
When the Vitalis Conference takes place in May 2024 the new EU Regulation for the European Health Data Space (EHDS) may already have been finally adopted and entered into force. EHDS aims to empower the citizens when it comes to having control over their own health data. At the same time contributing to health care as well as research and innovation by providing access to relevant health data in an efficient and secure manner. Expected outcomes include for instance new innovative medical treatments and diagnostics, development of AI tools, and Precision Medicine, thus optimizing value from health data, for the benefit of individuals as well as society as a whole. However, there is no doubt that the implementation of EHDS also comes with substantial challenges of different kinds.
This introduction will give an update on the status of EHDS, on preparative EU projects and describe EU and Swedish aspects on interoperability layers of legal, technical, semantic and organizational character.
