Challenges with access to data in health care: Coffee meeting with industry
2023-09-08 10:00 - 11:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
Organiser: Nordic Proof
The Nordic Proof partners invite stakeholders to an online dialogue addressing challenges surrounding data sharing in healthcare.
The Nordic healthcare sector faces several challenges when it comes to data sharing for innovation and industry development purposes. Privacy concerns and strict data protection regulations pose challenges since EU have a strong commitment to safeguarding individuals’ privacy and ensuring the secure handling of personal data. While these regulations are essential for maintaining trust and protecting patient rights, they can become barriers for development of data driven solutions.
Successful resolution of these challenges necessitates collective efforts. Thus, Nordic Proof invites professionals in the healthcare sector and industry to an online coffee meeting to address the barriers in data sharing. Together, we can foster an environment that facilitates knowledge exchange and enhance Nordic collaboration.
