AIX_forum_infoscreen_AI for Health(2).png

This edition of the AIX series discusses how we can overcome challenges in making use of personal data in health and medical research and in development of new innovations. The focus of the discussion is to thoroughly understand what are the current bottlenecks and what different stakeholders could do individually or together with others to solve those bottlenecks without compromising the privacy of the citizens.

Let’s discuss with the solution panel & audience about our knowledge on what are the current technological, methodological and procedural means and try to formulate clear and concrete descriptions of the problems. And finally, let’s try to define together what actions are required and who all could work together to find solutions.
