🚀 Exciting developments in #digitalhealth! 📢 The newly adopted European Health Data Space (#EHDS) Regulation (EU) 2025/327 marks a major step toward secure, interoperable, and patient-centric health data sharing across Europe. This regulation strengthens individuals' control over their #electronichealthrecords while enabling research, innovation, and better #healthcare delivery. 🔹 So, how do we turn this vision into action? The #xShareYellowButton simplifies #healthdata portability , allowing individuals to securely share their #healthrecords in a standardised format, the #EEHRxF. xShare is fully aligned with the EHDS, helping to: ✅ Empower individuals with easy access to their health data ✅ Ensure interoperability across electronic health record systems ✅ Support research & innovation through responsible data sharing 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dFmf4Qzk What are your thoughts on the EHDS and the role of digital health in shaping the future of healthcare? Let’s discuss in the comments! ⬇️

AI is currently transforming healthcare, but adopting AI models is a long and often challenging journey—spanning infrastructure, adoption, explainability, and security. How can we ensure that AI delivers on its promise? Now, you can explore these critical challenges and solutions firsthand.  At EHTEL 2024, Dr. Tal Patalon, tackled this question head-on. She shared key insights on the operational pathway to AI implementation, including practical questions that everyone in the field needs to ask. This session is now available online, outlining essential steps for integrating AI into healthcare systems. The session covered the following crucial topics: 🔹 Data Harmonization & Standardization – Ensuring AI models are trained on diverse, high-quality datasets. 🔹 Validation Across Populations – AI models must be tested on the specific populations they will serve, regardless of prior regulatory approvals. 🔹 Security & Infrastructure – Why cloud-based storage is often safer than traditional on-premises data storage. 🔹 Adoption & Trust – The biggest challenge isn’t technology—it’s ensuring motivated adoption by healthcare professionals.  The session also featured thought leaders shaping AI’s future in healthcare: ✅ Benny Van Bruwaene, BT Computing, Belgium – “Is AI the magic tool to normalise data?” ✅ Prof. Petra Ritter, Charité, Germany – “The TEF-Health: A new ecosystem for AI implementation.” ✅ Aristeidis Tsitiridis, UBITECH, Greece – “Co-creating innovative AI in a European project around dementia.” 📢 Whether you're a policymaker, clinician, or innovator, this is essential viewing for understanding AI’s practical adoption. 🎥 Watch the full session here > https://lnkd.in/eCajWrtC EHTEL - Collaborating for Digital Health and Care in Europe Marc Lange

[🤝EHTEL joint statement] Today 39 representatives of the EU health community welcome the publication of the #EHDS Regulation in the Official Journal of the EU and launch a set of recommendations. 🌐 Together, we call on policymakers to guarantee an actionable process for involvement of a variety of voices in this new #healthdata ecosystem. A collaborative approach will foster trust and contribute to the acceptance, effectiveness, and rapid adoption of EHDS initiatives. 🗝️ Key to include are citizens, civil society, healthcare professionals, scientists, academia, #healthcare providers, payers, industry stakeholders, and patient representatives. 🧬 As a multi-stakeholder collaboration platform EHTEL has this principle in its DNA and is supporting #EHDS adoption through a variety of actions: 💎 EHTEL's own EHDS Task Force for its members: https://lnkd.in/eSAfdpcM 💎 EHTEL's close contact with a variety of voices through its involvement in #EU coalitions: https://lnkd.in/eBt4r4P7 📍 Join our community ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eGv887Bg
