Big Data und KI im Gesundheitswesen

Modern data processing technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence are leading to far-reaching innovations in healthcare. However, the (health) data required is subject to the protection of the right to informational self-determination. Wiebke Winter addresses the question of how medical innovation and this right can be reconciled. In particular, her study questions the data protection law instrument of consent from a legal and behavioral economics perspective before going on to examine the controversial notion of »scientific research purpose« within the General Data Protection Regulation. Finally, Germany's Health Data Lab and its potentials for research are discussed.
