Responsible use of health-related data for research – the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) (EN)

As part of the innovation boosters digital health nation and data, powered by Innosuisse, we want to invite you to a webinar about the responsible use of health-related data for research.

The use of sensitive health data in medical research places high demands on data, infrastructures and processes. Thanks to SPHN, a federally commissioned funding initiative, an interoperable and secure data-enabling environment has been created in Switzerland in close collaboration with the five Swiss university hospitals. The goal is to connect researchers with biomedical and routine health care data to promote data-driven research approaches and contribute to making personalized healthcare a reality in Switzerland. With SPHN’s established contractual framework, the network facilitates the responsible use of sensitive health data in strict compliance with ethical and legal principles.

The speakers:
Dr Katrin Crameri, Director of the Personalized Health Informatics (PHI) Group of SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and director of the SPHN Data Coordination Center

Dr Julia Maurer, ELSI expert and Scientific Coordination Manager, Personalized Health Informatics (PHI) Group of SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics

Participation is free, however registration is required before December 7, 2022.
