The automatic de-identification of clinical narrative text offers efficient patient data privacy protection and eases reuse of clinical data. CliniDeID applies an ensemble method combining deep and shallow machine learning with rule-based algorithms and is released as free and open-source solution to de-identify unstructured clinical text with high accuracy. It was recently evaluated with a selection of clinical text corpora and reached high sensitivity and positive predictive value.

Finnish Social and Health Data Permit Authority Findata is the first one-stop shop in the world that issues permits for secondary use of social welfare and health care data. This presentation highlights the Finnish experiences of secondary use from past three years, as the whole EU is now planning to take similar steps towards the European Health Data Space.

NORDeHEALTH: Usability of national patient portals in Finland, Estonia, Norway, and SwedenNordic countries have been forerunners while having patient portals already for a decade. However, it is still important to improve usability for getting more benefits and also to help other countries develop their eHealth services. There hasn’t been a similar international comparison as we have now with our international patient survey. We’ll share international and local benefits and challenges regarding the usability of national patient portals in Finland, Estonia, Norway, and Sweden.

NORDeHEALTH: Patients' Input to Electronic Health Record – Opportunities and Challenges in EstoniaYou will get an overview of how the system of patients’ online health record works in Estonia today. We will take you through the opportunities, but also challenges for the future and give an insight of how we plan to overcome those. As more and more emphasize are put on person-centeredness in healthcare, but also in order to fully achieve the potential benefits of digitalization, it is necessary to further explore how could electronic health records shift from solely being a documentation tool for health professionals to rather a tool for secure collaboration and communication with patients and family caregivers. We will introduce you our co-designing journey on patient-generated health data on blood pressure and blood glycose levels.

This is a session presenting basic recommendations intended to facilitate the planning (and implementation) of national legislation on secondary use of health data. These recommendations are based on a summary on a multinational level of the experiences and conclusions of pioneering European countries that already have such national legislation, in combination with the needs of other European countries in this respect.

The MIE conference has always been a hub for innovation and cutting-edge technology. This year was no exception several demonstrators showcase their unique solutions to healthcare problems. Use the opportunity to take a closer look at some of the most striking demonstrators present at the conference, highlighting their diversity and the potential impact they could have on various healthcare-related challenges

Lifestyle caused diseases are rapidly increasing and traditional ways of lifestyle guidance in healthcare are highly resource demanding and lacking effectiveness. Healthy Days is the solution which makes preventional care scalable with no resource limitations and lifts the patient on top of selfcare with proven effectiveness.

EHDS (European Health Data Space) proposes a common European legislation which among other things ensures access to health data for secondary use.In this presentation, we look at the informatics associated with secondary use of health data, established standards and techniques for making data available for secondary use (including OMOP), international real world examples and how healthcare organizations can benefit internally from tools for secondary use.

Dana Lewis founded the open-source artificial pancreas movement (known as “OpenAPS”), working to make safe and effective automated insulin delivery (AID) technology available (sooner) for people with diabetes around the world for the past 8 years. She authored the book, "Automated Insulin Delivery: How artificial pancreas “closed loop” systems can aid you in living with diabetes", to help more people understand automated insulin delivery systems, in addition to a series of children's books on various health topics. She is now a researcher and her peer-reviewed publications have been cited more than 1,300 times. She has collected numerous types of individual data and conducted research with it, while also working to support communities of patients and medical and academic researchers to harness the power of real-world shared data for improving healthcare.

The future success of moving to a smart hospital is understanding the risk. Risk should be an open transparent conversation between stakeholders of the future hospital. With an increase in interconnected devices that allow for more remote care the protection of the central brain of the hospital is critical. Change takes time and education. If we consider current cyber threats that healthcare as an industry faces one might ask what does it really mean to be secure? Security is not a permanent achievable state, it is temporal and fluid. Technology in healthcare is ever-changing and along with that there should be a clear understanding of the risks. Breaches happen almost daily around the world specifically within healthcare. As a highly targeted industry, how do we effectively deal with these breaches, what is the estimated downtime? This talk explores the current state of responses to breaches, and potential solutions with a focus on education and disaster planning for not if but when it happens.
