MEF is delighted to collaborate with the upcoming eHealth Week in Malta.

The overarching theme of eHealth Week 2017 is Data for Health: the key to personalised sustainable care. Data lies at the heart of service delivery and the development of effective health policy. During eHealth Week, speakers and delegates will explore the changing ways in which personal health data is created, stored, shared and used. Advances in bioinformatics support a paradigm shift towards tailor-made prevention and treatment strategies both for individuals and population groups. Opportunities are growing for ICT to support patient-centred health services and the involvement of patients in their own care, including access to personal health data, sharing of data, and mHealth applications.

MEF is hosting a Workshop on Building trust in personal data on Wednesday May 10, 2017, 12:15 – 13:15.  The workshop previews the findings of a new global consumer study looking at Trust. It reveals valuable insights into consumer motivations and behaviours highlighting new opportunities for digital health as well as identifying personal data challenges for greater adoption.  It is free to attend for all delegates.
