Webinar 1: How does the GDPR apply to health data?

In the first webinar we will introduce the series with a welcome from i~HD’s President Dipak Kalra and Educational Programme Lead Tanja Vincken. This webinar focuses on the broad impacts of GDPR and how it applies to health data driven research. We will consider the implications for innovation from a legal professional, health sector and health industrial perspective.

Topics covered include: Why the GDPR was introduced (its purpose), to whom and what it applies to. The GDPR principles and how these impact on the main data flows when collecting and analysing health data through apps, wearables, clinical systems and research systems. Practical adoption and compliance steps (e.g. what is a DPIA, what legal bases are often used in different situations). Boundary conditions: data minimisation, use that is consistent with the legal basis, catering for withdrawal of consent. Good practices that should be adopted: transparency, information security measures, codes of conduct. An introduction to anonymisation and pseudonymisation. If COVID-19 has changed the expectation landscape. Q&A from the audience.
