Personal Health Data Spaces – health informatics opportunities under EHDS primary use priorities

Abstract

“Personal Health Data Space” can help mitigate an obvious paradox in health care; patients and citizens really lack tools and services designed for them to fully leverage opportunities in use of health data to actively contribute to personal health and wellness, and specifically in activities of daily living for best possible care and treatment outcomes. The EHDS with priority areas for primary use of health data is an impetus for responsible innovation and value creation that leverage personalized use of health data for self-management, and everyday health and wellness purposes. I will share research examples that seek to support overview of personal health data and logistics in everyday living, drive digital health literacy and understanding, and stimulate concordance or adherence activities in terms of “do my part” and reap benefits of available prevention, care and treatment, for personal safety, quality of life and overall wellbeing.
