Building Capacities in the Industry for Secondary Uses of Health Data: The EHDS Framework

Monday, June 03, 2024
1:45 PM - 2:45 PM
Breakout Session 24BC

On May 3, 2022, the European Commission published its draft regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS). This proposal aims to achieve two main objectives. The first is to improve the provision of cross-border healthcare in the EU, regardless of the patient’s location in Member States. The second is to enable the secondary use of electronic health data by researchers, companies, innovators, and public institutions (data users). This session, chaired by the Council of European BioRegions, representing over 40 health innovation ecosystems in Europe, brings together experts from industry, the European Commission, clinical institutions, and health data experts to discuss the talent needs and skills gaps to fulfill industry's expectations.
