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.

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.

Introduction to the session "Northern Excellence in Online Records" and short presentation of the NORDeHEALTH project.

Experiences with collaboration between hospital and vendor on information modelling, templating and software development attempting to increase speed and quality of product.

Presentation of the six years of experience in using mixed reality applications in planning liver and heart surgery at Oslo University Hospital. Description of research, development and implementation of clinical applications from image data to surgical strategies in 3D. It was initiated by clinicians based on clinical challenges to be fully compatible with clinical reality. Efficient workflow, fully integrated with hospital infrastructures cloud/browser-based with no need for specialized workstations.Ample experience is derived from surgical planning sessions for colorectal liver cancers and structural heart diseases. Not only limited to the most complex surgical cases. In pediatric heart surgery, holographic visualization brings enhanced 3D anatomical understanding of complex heart defects. It provides insight that reduces the risk of damaging critical structures in the surgical area. Holographic information impacts surgical plans in about half of the tested cases.In liver cancer surgery, holographic visualization brings anatomical overview and improves spatial understanding of internal anatomical structures in relation to the tumour. This is important when planning intricate surgical paths within the liver. Additionally, it better utilizes already available preoperative data to be used in surgical planning as an adjunct to the standard of care.Industrial collaboration has been vital in the establishment of minimum viable products as well as in establishing a start-up. This paved a path towards regulatory approvals and the distribution of applications for clinical use outside our hospital. We will present published and unpublished results from our department - where we have failed and succeeded and what we have learned in the process.Finally, we will provide a glimpse of the future trend in the current project and what is coming next. 

How can digital therapeutics and software based medical devices play a role in healthcare innovation?
Using them as tools for innovating and rethinking treatment pathways, this creates leeway to improve efficiency for healthcare professionals and personalised care for patients. Katrina Laks shares the story of Migrevention, her own experience and the hurdles and possibilities for software-based medical devices in changing the mindset for the future of healthcare.

The presentation will describe how the World Health Organization Region Europe (WHO EURO) came to select Sweden as its Demo Platform, and South Lapland and the Centre for Rural Medicine as the demo site for showing good practice of how to ensure access to health in remote areas with digital health tools, why Business Sweden initiated this collaboration with WHO, what the Demo Platform entails and how the next planned steps are strategic to Swedish digital health industry internationalisation.
