GDPR & healthcare: towards harvesting health from our data


Details
With the GDPR becoming enforceable as from 25 May and privacy scandals making headlines on a daily basis we decided to dedicate an evening to the (positive) effect of the GDPR on healthcare and the challenges entrepreneurs face with regards to compliance with the GDPR. Join us to discover the potential that comes with the new regulation and learn about the important aspects to consider when complying with it!
Program:
Cambridge Analytica’s misuse of data has had the positive effect of highlighting the importance of protecting consumer’s online privacy and protecting data of data subjects more generally. Businesses are either pushed or feel the urge to embrace legal (and ethical) data usage and commit to doing everything in their power to protect personal data.
Should (sensitive) personal data be completely kept in the hands of the patient? So he or she only can decide what happens with their personal data? We have invited guests to speak about recent developments in data-driven healthcare and the role of data protection, what the regulation means for startups and how the regulation can boost innovation.
Yes, we know that the GDPR also means WORK, but so much has already been said about this. Of course, we will also address the challenges entrepreneurs face when it comes to compliance with the GDPR, but we like to do this by keeping things positive and think in terms of chances, growth, and innovation. Just like you. So that is why we particularly want to focus on the good news surrounding this regulation. Perhaps the days personal data is being treated as a commodity to be mined are almost history? A shift of focus from harvesting data towards harvesting the value of the data and making sure the data owner benefits too?

We are back at Amsterdam health & technology institute (ahti). For those unfamiliar with the organization, ahti works on innovation in health. Specifically, they bring people together through their network of health and care organizations to generate solutions for better health, care, and costs. Worthy to check out the facilities and programs they offer and meet the people who are behind creating a thriving ecosystem for health innovation and entrepreneurship in Amsterdam! https://ahti.nl/
Parking:
The venue is easy to reach by public transport (5 min walking from train/metro station Holendrecht), which we encourage you to use as parking space is very limited. Only if you are unable to use public transport, sign up for a parking spot by contacting Minou van Woerden (m.vanwoerden@ahti.nl)
