Call for input: What is your view on sharing health data for scientific research?
February 08th 2021
Have your voice heard! Help shape the European environment for the sharing of health data for public health, treatment, research and innovation.
Researchers from all over Europe have joined forces in the BigData@Heart project. They combine health data from different databases to improve diagnosis and treatments of heart disease.
Exchanging health data between researchers and research databases increases the quantity of available data and makes possible the forging of new connections and associations between them. For example, by combining data from different registries and electronic health records, researchers believe they can gain better insights into diagnosis and treatments of various diseases and conditions. However, to achieve this goal, it is essential to have the support and cooperation of patients and citizens, who are ultimately the owners of these data. It is therefore important to know what they think of such large-scale combining and sharing of data for scientific health research. That is what this survey is about.
Your opinion is important to us! By replying to our survey, you would be contributing to a better understanding of how health data should be safely shared, processed, and protected, and to the design of future data-sharing policies.
The survey is available in 11 languages.
