The session was opened by Kretschmann and then the moderator Florian Stegmann, Head of the Land Chancellery, welcomed the speakers. The round table was organized around four distinct panels. First, the topic of harmonization of data protection and cybersecurity was discussed.<\/p>\n
This was followed by a discussion on the standardization of health data networking, followed by an exchange of views on the secondary use of data in the interest of the common good. Finally, the roundtable addressed the issue regarding the digital skills of healthcare professionals and citizens.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Government of Baden W\u00fcrttemberg presented its position paper on the issue. Javier Zarzalejos, MEP for the PP, stated during his intervention that “it is imperative to improve the use of health data for research, innovation and policy making, ensuring that access is made with guarantees of security and privacy.” Additionally, the MEP emphasized the fact that citizens must be able to control their own health data, both at home and across Union borders.”<\/p>\n
