Governance, Frameworks, and Tools
For AI, big data, and digital health, effective governance and tools are crucial. These involve oversight models, policy guidelines, and practical instruments that operationalize ethical and legal health data management, ensuring innovation aligns with public trust, legal compliance, and societal values.
Some Key Questions
Key challenges include how to communicate complex ethical and legal standards in ways that are accessible and meaningful. In the context of regulations like the GDPR, ethical questions emerge around balancing privacy with scientific freedom, and whether exemptions for research are justifiable. There is also concern over whether current safeguards—like granular consent—are sufficient in complex, data-rich environments. Achieving effective, inclusive, and reflexive oversight remains central to governing health data responsibly in an era of rapid technological change.
