Harnessing the European Health Data Space

The European Health Data Space (EHDS) represents a significant step toward a unified framework for health data exchange across the European Union. By facilitating secure access to electronic health data, the EHDS aims to empower individuals, enhance healthcare delivery, and promote research and innovation. However, the implementation of such a comprehensive system presents numerous challenges, especially in a world facing increasing fragmentation. This panel discussion aims to:

• Explore the objectives and anticipated benefits of the EHDS,

• Identify potential challenges in implementing the EHDS,

• Discuss strategies to overcome these challenges,

• Consider the global implications of the EHDS.

The panel will bring together diverse perspectives to provide a holistic understanding of the EHDS and its potential to transform healthcare in Germany, Europe and beyond.
