i-HD Annual Conference 2018

Innovation Through Health Data (i-HD) Annual Conference 2018 is organized by European Institute For Innovation Through Health Data (i - HD) and will be held from Nov 19 - 20, 2018 at Gothia Towers, Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden.

The conference will showcase how routinely collected health data (Real World Data) can be used to derive important knowledge insights, possibly uniquely from large scale data, and how these insights can and should impact on decision making and healthcare strategy.

There will be sessions on:
• Pragmatic clinical trials - their role, methods and tools, results and impacts
• International observational health data networks – communities and projects
• Learning health systems – the global landscape
• Hospital-led and patient-led initiatives to use health data to improve outcomes
• A debate on the acceptability conditions for real world evidence - to inform regulatory decision making

Pre-conference sessions:
• An in-depth tutorial on the GDPR implications for reusing health data
• A workshop for health data custodians about the IMI EHDEN federated data network
