Unlocking the power of health data: privacy, policy, and progress

Shift by Alberta Innovates

Mark Korthuis, President and CEO of the Glenrose Hospital Foundation recently sat down with me to discuss a panel he'll be moderating at Inventures 2024 called Rethinking Approaches to Unlocking Health Data.
In our discussion, Mark sets the stage for what the panel will focus on: navigating the terrain between privacy concerns and opportunities that, if missed, could set health systems back as the world embraces the ubiquity of artificial intelligence, quantum computing and other technologies we've yet to imagine.
Mark provides invaluable insights into the transformative potential of collective governance and the imperative for a fluid exchange of health data across care settings.
Our conversation is only a teaser for the panel that should be a beacon for clinicians, patients, entrepreneurs, policy makers and anyone interested in data and healthcare innovation, seeking to understand the intricate balance of data accessibility and patient care.
In addition to listening to the podcast, check out the Interoperability Saves Lives report on the Alberta Virtual Care website.
