Background

The Connect4Health healthcare connectathon using NordxDataspace aims to promote digital wallets and Solid pods as a data intermediary through a trusted data intermediation service to enable organisations to become part of the European Health Data Space while ensuring data privacy, human-centric use of personal data and digital rights. Specifically, the objectives are to:

1. Demonstrate the secure and seamless exchange of healthcare data between different healthcare systems using NordXDataspace as a trust anchor via data intermediation services, digital wallets, and solid pods while ensuring compliance with data regulations such as GDPR, EU Data Governance Act, EU Data Act, and the European Health Data Space.

2. Educate healthcare stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, IT vendors, and government agencies, on the benefits of using digital wallets and Solid pods as healthcare intermediaries and how to protect data privacy and human-centric use of personal data and digital rights.

3. Encourage the adoption of NordxDataspace and digital wallets/Solid pods to promote interoperability and collaboration in healthcare while ensuring the protection of data privacy, human-centric use of personal data, and digital rights.
