i~HD uses stakeholder engagement as a practical route to impact. As a neutral, not-for-profit institute, it brings together the voices that are needed to unlock the value of health data: patients, clinicians, researchers, industry, policymakers, regulators, payers and technology providers.

This engagement is not limited to consultation. i~HD creates structured spaces where stakeholders can share perspectives, identify common ground and co-develop practical recommendations. The result is dialogue that leads to usable outputs: white papers, consensus reports, policy recommendations, implementation guidance and calls to action.

These reports show how i~HD connects real-world needs with European health data policy and implementation. They have supported discussions on topics such as the European Health Data Space, digital health transformation, secondary use of health data, data quality, governance and trust.

The value of these outputs lies not only in the documents themselves, but in the process behind them. Each report reflects a shared effort to turn diverse stakeholder insights into actionable knowledge.

In this way, i~HD acts as a trusted convener and knowledge broker: helping Europe
move from dialogue to alignment, and from alignment to health data impact.
