* Declaration concrete measures: 

  • The foundations must be laid for patients and healthy citizens to be able to declare (and also revoke) their consent to Europe-wide data use (research & care) at the lowest possible threshold. This includes educational and promotional efforts.
  • All European citizens should retain control over their health data according to GDPR and be able to share them in a secure way with authorized partners. 
  • Patients should be able to consent to the Europe-wide use of their health data for research and development purposes and thus help researchers in academia and industry to develop more effective early-stage prevention strategies, more precise diagnosis options and more individualized therapies.
  • The EU must extend its harmonization and interoperability efforts to data relevant to promote research, prevention and personalized care. 
  • The EU needs a clearing agency for digital health applications in the fields of infection diseases and control – under the umbrella of the ECDC 
  • To achieve faster digitization of hospitals incentive systems modelled on the US government's "meaningful use" program are recommended 
  • To overcome the deployment gap of digital health in Europe, the establishment of a biennial research-based EU-wide monitoring-report on best practice examples is recommendable.
