HEALTH & AGEING LAW LAB
The Health and Ageing Law Lab (HALL) is a subgroup of the Interdisciplinary Research group on Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), focusing on the articulations of law, science, technology, ethics & society. HALL is a team of researchers who specialise in themes linked to matters of health and ageing. In particular, its members conduct research in multi-disciplinary areas such as privacy and data protection; use of advanced technologies in healthcare, pharmaceutical development and research; e-Health and m-Health; and healthy ageing. HALL aims to explore synergies between these researchers and as a result, provide for a co-ordinated research focus and output.
The group is chaired by Professor Paul Quinn who has expertise in the use of health data in the health care setting, in matters of public health and in innovative research involving big data. The group has successfully participated in several EU H2020 projects (FASTER, PROTEIN, TECHCARE, PERSONA, VALUE-AGEING, PICASO, FACILITATE, TENDER) aimed at developing the solutions for the health and ageing issues. Currently, HALL is also engaged in several Horizon Europe Projects (CYMEDSEC, SmartCHANGE, Planet4Health, SUN). HALL researchers provide their legal expertise to the projects and thus contribute to the state of the art in these areas.
The group has an interdisciplinary focus and enjoys collaboration with healthcare professionals (including at the University Hospital, Brussels (UZ Brussel), with research scientists, software engineers and a range of societal actors.
