Everybody who seeks healthcare knows how important it is for information to be joined up between care providers. Digital Health Europe has developed a website especially with patients and the public in mind to explain interoperability and standards. i~HD has participated in the creation of this portal and will sustain it as a long-term resource.
On 10 June 2021 our member organisation MedTech Europe joined forces with EFPIA to hold a joint panel discussion on "Unlocking the power of health data: the promise of the European Health Data Space” (EHDS).
The event included a keynote address by Ms Stella Kyriakides and a presentation on the EHDS by Ms Ioana-Maria Gligor, Head of Unit Digital Health.
Our President Dipak Kalra was one of the invited panel speakers to discuss the opportunities from making better use of data offered by the EHDS, and the importance of societal trust.
