The Department of Innovation and Digitalisation in Law at the University of Vienna recently opened registrations for a 1-day conference on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), held within the framework of the VirtualBrainCloud project. The virtual conference, entitled “Bridging the gap between new technologies, health research and the protection of personal data”, will be held on 18 September, and is free of charge and open to the general public.
Data privacy and the GDPR are particularly important concerns for the VirtualBrainCloud (TVB-Cloud), a Horizon 2020-funded project which is aiming to create a decision support system that will give clinicians access to multidisciplinary data on neurodegenerative disease via a cloud-based, personalised brain simulation platform. The conference will address the regulatory framework and use of new information technologies in the healthcare sector, with a particular focus on patient privacy and data protection. In addition, it will address the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical research projects such as TVB-Cloud, featuring presentations from interdisciplinary experts working on the Human Brain Project and at the European Institute for Innovation through Health Data (i~HD), among others.
