EHDS and the future of healthcare
On the 30th of January, BC Platforms and experts from the public sector, the private sector, and the European institutions gather in Warsaw, Poland to discuss the future of healthcare in the European Union (EU) with the implementation of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and innovations in healthcare. The EHDS represents the EU’s first common data space for the European Health Union that will protect and streamline use of health data. EHDS readiness is mandatory for all healthcare institutions within the EU, with a foundational compliance deadline in late 2028.
BC Platforms, with its EHDS-Ready Trusted Research Environment (TRE), will be actively involved in summit discussions around EHDS implementation, represented by Timo Kanninen (CSO) and Tero Oinonen (Executive VP, Marketing).
A stakeholder forum for the TEHDAS2 project will also be held to prepare the ground for the harmonised implementation of the secondary use of health data in the EHDS. TEHDAS2 involves 29 countries and aims to create guidelines and technical specifications for using health data across country borders.
The summit will include a line-up of key governmental and academic presentations on EHDS implementation.1 Exciting results from TEHDAS2’s joint action will be presented at the summit covering data discoverability, data access and secure processing and the future outlook of EHDS. Finally, an engaging workshop looking at the interface between EHDS and cancer data will be hosted by the European Open Science Cloud for Cancer (EOSC4Cancer), a European-wide foundation accelerating data-driven cancer research.
BC Platforms has an easy-to-understand EDHS Readiness Guide that can help you understand how the current EDHS implementation affects your institution and what you need to do now. BC Platforms offers EHDS-compatible modular and scalable solutions, ranging from individual hospital implementations to national-scale systems. Its EHDS-Ready TRE provides a hardware-agnostic solution that you can use with both local and national secure data environments – harnessing automation capabilities and AI-based tools to support your institution’s digital healthcare transformation.
