Health data can facilitate better quality of care, improve access to diagnosis and treatment, and support efficiency of healthcare system. To facilitate data in healthcare, there are two main aspects: How to organize the collection, curation, storage and accessibility of data – and how to apply knowledge and data-based solutions to improve the delivery of care? Approaches to both aspects differ vastly across the globe.

Consequently, this panel aims to investigate different examples of managing large health data pools and discuss practical examples of valuable data driven solutions and projects. In that regard, the European Health Data Space as well as FinData are recent examples for establishing data pools to drive innovation, while iSTARC showcases the potential of connecting expertise and experience from Europe and Africa. Based on these examples, we seek to identify what might be "universal" learnings that can support improving and innovating the delivery of healthcare in different geographies by utilizing health data.
