Authors: Fatma Dogan

ABSTRACT

This study examines the re-use of health data in the context of AI development, focusing on regulatory frameworks governing this practice under the European Health Data Space. It explores how transparency and the protection of personal data are balanced with the need for innovation in healthcare. By analysing real-world examples and the application of General Data Protection Regulation principles, particularly transparency, this study assesses whether health data can be re-used for AI-driven healthcare advancements without undermining individuals’ data protection rights.
