Wednesday, 9 June 2021, 9:00-10:00 CEST – Towards trustworthy health data ecosystems – Viewpoints & examples

In spring 2021, Sitra launched the Fair Health Data Challenge to seek practical examples of digital health and well-being services where data is transparently used. Tiina Härkönen, Leading Specialist at Sitra, presents the key findings about the role of trust-based health data challenges in future healthcare and announces the three winners of the Challenge.

Currently, personal data is used under unfair rules. Sitra’s IHAN® project the foundation for a fair data economy, in which successful digital services are based on trust and create value for everyone. In fair data economy partnerships, data is shared between different parties with an individual’s consent in a seamless and transparent way. Individuals can use services that improve their well-being and everyday life, companies achieve growth through innovations, and the well-being of society increases.

Europe needs a sustainable alternative to data economy and digital services, which are fair to all stakeholders. Sitra has produced tools and practises to address the above challenges and, thereby, brings three creative examples from Europe that will shed light on how to use data in a transparent and trustworthy manner.
