New era for health data: Secondary use of data in the EHDS and DGA and its implementation in Europe and Austria

BBMRI.at in collaboration with the projects Smart-FOX and CD-Laboratory for Machine Learning Driven Precision Imaging is honored to invite to an exclusive forum, “A New Era for Health Data: Secondary Use of Data in the EHDS and DGA and Its Implementation in Europe and Austria,” February 27, 2025, 14:00 – 19:00 (Campus of the University of Vienna).

Secondary use of health data

The processing and sharing of health data is crucial to advance research of various diseases and health conditions as well as an inseparable part of personalized medicine and the concept of digital health. The European Data Strategy is taking shape with the entry into force of new legal acts, such as the Data Act, Data Gouvernance Act and soon also European Health Data Space Regulation. These legal acts bring changes to the national healthcare systems and data sharing infrastructures.

 

About the event

This event convenes distinguished stakeholders from academia, healthcare, public administration, and industry to address critical developments in the secondary use of health data, as outlined by the European Data Strategy. Particular emphasis will be placed on the implications of forthcoming legislative frameworks, including the European Health Data Space (EHDS), Data Act, and Data Governance Act (DGA), and their integration into national systems.

 

The forum offers a unique platform to:

  • Engage in high-level discussions on shaping the future of health data utilization.
  • Analyse the challenges and opportunities within Austria and across Europe.
  • Collaborate with policymakers and legal experts to contribute to innovative, data-driven healthcare solutions.
