An iCLIC and Web Science Webinar on Data stewardship and health data (16:00)
16:00 - 17:30
Attempts to find legal, ethical and repeatable mechanisms or structures to support the multi-party sharing of regulated data have not yet succeeded, although different models are now emerging. The extraordinary situation of the global pandemic makes it crystal clear that there is an urgent need to accelerate the sharing of health data among different types of stakeholders, e.g. healthcare providers, social care providers, researchers and public health authorities. However, the danger is that such data sharing will de facto enable extensive surveillance programmes and irremediably undermine fundamental rights and liberties of patients and individuals.
