It is a membership-based organisation with members from pharma, healthcare providers, academic organisations, and works closely with patient organisations, healthcare payers, the health ICT sector and standards development organisations. i~HD develops methods, solutions and services that can maximise the value obtained from health data, to support innovations in health, health care and knowledge discovery, while ensuring compliance with legal prerequisites, especially regarding patient’s privacy protection. It tackles areas of challenge in the successful scaling up of innovations that rely on high quality and interoperable health data.

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Opportunities, stakeholder value and acceptance factors in support of the European Health Data Space The adoption of the EU GDPR relating to the use of health data for research The health sector implications of the Data Governance Act Promotion of the Digital Health and Care Innovation initiative of the Digital Single Market Strategy The health sector implications of the forthcoming AI Regulation
Communication Activities: The organisation and reporting of multi-stakeholder roundtables, focus groups and workshops discussing topics relating to the governance, protection, interoperability, sharing and quality of health data, for public health and research purposes. From these we collect requirements, use cases, success factors and barriers, approaches that could be adopted and stakeholder concerns, which we collate into policy-influencing reports and presentation materials. These have contributed directly into EC intelligence gathering as it develops the concept, governance models, operational models and later the implementation of the EHDS. Promoting the importance of interoperability standards to different stakeholder groups, and promoting the importance of good data quality, so that health data is usable and useful for the big data opportunities that will be enabled by the EHDS. From these activities we understand the present barriers to standards adoption and data quality, the incentives that need to be triggered through future policy instruments, and we contribute this back into the European Commission for consideration, especially now in relation to the EHDS. Working with multiple European projects and with multi stakeholder communities on the challenges and emergent good practices in complying with the GDPR when it comes to reusing health data for research, especially for big data networks. We are collating these adoption and compliance challenges, as areas for potential recommended improvement to a future revision of the GDPR. Many of these areas are also potential areas that the Data Governance Act might fill, so we additionally contribute input to the Commission on the implementation of this Act. Contributing to webinars and online conferences, in person conferences, about topics that contribute to the European momentum and capacity for cross-border data sharing and analysis including trustworthy AIas input to support the adoption and compliance with the AI Act.
