webinar

This online workshop turns to the reasons the European Health Data Space (EHDS) exists — and what it means for the next generation of Digital Health professionals and innovators working in highly regulated markets.

Who is it for?

This session is designed for Digital Health professionals and innovators, researchers, and students who want to understand how the EHDS will reshape health data use across Europe — whether you build products in regulated markets or help shape the policies that govern them.

What the session explores 

• Why health system sustainability, wide variation in care outcomes, and the case for shared health data make the EHDS necessary
• How the EHDS distinguishes Primary Use (patient access, electronic health record (EHR) interoperability) from Secondary Use (research, innovation, policy, personalised medicine)
• The grand challenges to implementation — data quality, interoperability, public trust, and incentives to sharing
• What the EHDS timeline (legislation now in force, phased implementation through 2030) means for organisational planning today
• What all this means in practice for future Digital Health professionals and innovators in highly regulated markets

Agenda

• An Introductory Dialogue — The current state of innovation in highly regulated markets
• Health Data Drives Innovation — The case for the EHDS
• Discussion with the Audience — Open Q&A on the first half of the session
• Industry Impact — The case for EHDS from an industry and innovation perspective
• EHDS Primary and Secondary Use Ecosystem — How the two use-case ecosystems fit together in practice
• Discussion with the Audience — Closing Q&A and key takeaways

Now in its fourth edition

This session continues the workshop series Prof. Dipak Kalra and Dmitry Etin have run since DigiHealthDay 2023. Each edition takes the EHDS story further as the legislation has moved from proposal to implementation.
