Making the European Health Data Space Work for R&D

The European Health Data Space regulation opens health data from 450 million people to R&D, with the potential to speed up drug discovery and health innovations, strengthen real-world evidence, train better AI, and pool scarce data on rare diseases. What needs to be in place to make it work? Realising that potential depends on less visible work: health data access, data quality and interoperability, and citizens’ trust.
