ADLIFE Partner i-HD to host conference on Health Data
What does it take for all stakeholders to scale up and trust (re)using health data? This pivotal question lies at the heart of The European Institute for Innovation through Health Data (i~HD) Annual Conference 2023 “Building Trust in Health Data”, in collaboration with “Health Data Forum” taking place in Ghent, Belgium on Nov. 30th and Dec. 1st. The main goal is to equip participants with comprehensive knowledge and tools for the perspective enabling the greater uptake of digital health innovations that generate reliable data and enable the trustworthy primary and secondary uses of health data.
The conference will also embed European-funded projects, each sharing different approaches to addressing the challenges underlying the mission of this conference. By bringing these projects together, we are joining the dots from varying points of view to be able to have a shared vision and plan of action.
