Data Saves Lives

Data Saves Lives is a multi-stakeholder initiative with the aim of raising wider patient and public awareness about the importance of health data, improving understanding of how it is used and establishing a trusted environment for multi-stakeholder dialogue about responsible use and good practices across Europe. Data Saves Lives has a crucial role in exploring societal questions about the uses of health data and supporting stakeholder dialogue, with a view to enhancing trust and cooperation. We aim to stimulate a structured and meaningful discourse within the health data community about responsible use of data and to capture, share and discuss views on other data related issues. Our vision is “A Europe where trustworthy data sharing supports health and scientific research to meet the needs of patients and address the challenges faced by our healthcare systems” Our mission is to create a European Health Data Portal that will build awareness and understanding on: 1. why data is important 2. how it is used 3. provide a trusted environment for dialogue about the use of health data in Europe
