Data for Health Conference 2023

No quod sanctus instructior ius, et intellegam interesset duo. Vix cu nibh gubergren dissentias. His velit veniam habemus ne. No doctus neglegentur vituperatoribus est, qui ad ipsum oratio. Ei duo dicant facilisi, qui at harum democritum consetetur.
Data for Health Conference 2023

It is currently difficult to conduct research on international health data. What problems exist, how the hurdles can be overcome, how data can remain secure, but still make more research possible - this were the topics of an international health data congress that took place in Berlin on 20 and 21 June.

The congress was organised by the Federal Ministry of Health in cooperation with Jochen Lennerz from Harvard Medical School in Boston (USA). Experts from Germany, the USA and Europe discussed the framework conditions and possibilities for the use of health data within and beyond European borders.

On the first day, Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach opened the conference with a keynote speech.
This was followed by a panel discussion with the topic "Introduction to data and AI sharing - discussion on the benefits and challenges of data and AI sharing".

The participants of the panel discussion were: Roland Eils (HiGHmed Consortium leader and founding director of the Centre for Digital Health of the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) at the Charité), Alena Buyx (chair of the German Ethics Council), Tariq Khokhar (Wellcome Trust) and Ariel Dora Stern (Harvard Business School).

On the second day, Karl Lauterbach presented the results of the congress at a closing panel.
This included Heyo K. Kroemer (Chairman of the Supervisory Board of HiGHmed Association and Chairman of the Board of Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin), Michael Hallek (University Hospital Cologne), Katharina Ladewig (Robert Koch Institute, Centre for Artificial Intelligence) and Jochen Lennerz (Harvard Medical School).

The event was held in English and streamed live.
