Health Data Worldwide - OCTOBER 2021 REEDITION

Summary

Context and objectives

”Health data” is a generic term that refers to a wide range of data types that have a common feature: they inform about the health status of an individual or a population. Such data can be found in multiple sources scattered around the healthcare system.

The variety of health data types and sources, combined with the complexity in identifying and evaluating them, motivated the creation of this report by TechToMed.

“International benchmark of key health data sources” is the first report to map and assess the most important sources of health data in the world.

The objectives of this study are:

Map and assess the different sources of health data worldwide ;
Identify key use cases and trends based on these data sources ;
Propose recommendations to healthcare stakeholders in their health data strategies.

What you will find in this study

A complete overview of all data types and sources with assessments of their specificity, their consistency, their comprehensiveness, they level of standardization, their interoperability and their accessibility.
Top 10 trends in health data worldwide illustrated by facts and figures.
An in-depth description, analysis and evaluation of 4 main categories of health data sources: national databases, electronic health records, cohorts and real-world databases in an international scale.
An overview of international data protection and security frameworks including international interoperability standards.
5 of the most important use cases in health data: the European digital single market, public health monitoring with a focus on Covid-19, personalized medicine, oncology research and pharmaceutical development.
