European Ethical Principles for Digital Health Passed

Wednesday May 24, 2023 09:25 - 09:50 F5

Lecturer: Isabelle ZABLIT-SCHMITZ

Track: Eng - European Health Data Space, EHDS

European Ethical Principles for Digital Health is an initiative of the French Presidency of the council of the European union. The legislative work on the European Health Data Space started under the French Presidency. It aims to give European citizens the guarantees of trust they are expecting for the processing of their health data. The sharing of health data can raise legitimate questions: clarifying these European Principles of Ethics for Digital Health will make it possible to go beyond the GDPR and to condition the choices of methods underlying digital health initiatives. This presentation will highlight important principles and how they are implemented in the member states. As well as the continuous work that needs to be done to ensure the trust from the European citizens.
