Is personal data always personal? A key question when thinking about many forms of health data. That is the question that the HALL members tackled in their workshop on the 1st of December, in light of the Court of Justice of the European Union’s recent judgment “Scania” (C-319/22) and two older cases of the General Court, “SRB v. EDPS” and “OC v. European Commission”, which all touch upon the (potentially?) relative notion of personal data.
NAVIGATING THE INTERSECTION OF HEALTHCARE, AI, AND LAW: A PREVIEW OF HELT 2024 SYMPOSIUM
By Cong Yao, 6th March 2024
The HELT symposium, a yearly multi-disciplinary event initiated by HALL at VUB, seeks to explore a series of discussions relating to matters of health and ageing. In particular, it focuses on areas such as privacy and data protection; the use of advanced technologies in healthcare, pharmaceutical development and research; e-Health and m-Health; and healthy ageing. With interdisciplinary collaboration at its core, the symposium aims to bridge gaps between health sciences, engineering, law, and technology to drive innovation and address the most pressing challenges in healthcare. It serves as a platform for leading experts, researchers, and practitioners to converge, exchange ideas, and chart the course for the healthcare landscape of tomorrow.
HELT 2024 Symposium is scheduled to take place on April 25th, 2024, at the Sparks venue, Rue Ravenstein 60 in Brussels. This year’s theme is “Health(y) AI – Bridging Innovation and Regulation”. The discussion will focus on the application of AI in healthcare and its impacts on research, data governance, and future regulation. Attendees can anticipate a series of insightful keynote presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions, and interactive workshops covering a wide range of topics.
