Mind Your Data: Privacy and legal matters in eHealth
ABSTRACT
The healthcare sector can benefit considerably from the developments in digital technology. Examples are eHealth applications, which are rapidly increasing in number and sophistication. For successful development and implementation of eHealth, it is paramount to guarantee the privacy and safety of patients and their collected data. At the same time, anonymised data that are collected through eHealth applications could be used in the development of innovative and personalised diagnostic, prognostic and treatment tools. To address the needs of researchers, health care providers and eHealth developers for more information and practical tools to handle privacy and legal matters in eHealth, the Dutch national Digital Society research programme organised the ‘Mind your data: privacy and legal matters in eHealth’ conference. In this paper we will share key take home messages from the conference.
