About the event organizers
Who really owns healthcare data? There are many challenges involved in optimizing a healthcare system, but certainly one of the more challenging ones is privacy—and the many questions that surround the exploding amounts of personal healthcare data.
That data is as incredibly personal to patients as it is valuable to medical providers who need the information to understand their patients and provide the best care, and to researchers who, by aggregating and analysing it, can make important, life-saving and life-extending medical discovery.
Yet there is huge healthcare gain potential if the national health systems and the private sector can find ways to collaboratively use patients healthcare data.
