Bird&Bird will present updates on the launch of the French Health Data Hub at the Brussels Privacy Hub lunch seminar upcoming on the 24th of April. As the Bird&Bird alerts, the French Health Data Hub was born officially with the publication on 30 November 2019 of a ministerial decision. According to the alert, the Health Data Hub is aimed at boosting and facilitating the use of available health data for research projects, by both private and public entities. In the era of artificial intelligence, the Health Data Hub will create new opportunities for stakeholders in the health sector. The legal framework with the requirements and procedures to be followed in order to access to and use the SNDS data result both from the French Data Protection Act which completes the GDPR, and from the French Public Health Code, as amended by an Act of 24 July 2019 (“Loi Santé”). They are designed to ensure the security and the protection of personal data. Bird&Bird will elaborate on this topic and share their insights. More details on the event are forthcoming.
