It's not really about the technology - it's about the political will. We know how to solve the data problems... the problem is how we get the right people to buy in...The future challenge is not going to be technology, it's going to be will and money - I think Europe can do it and I think COCIR can help.

In contrast, EMIF has brought together a group of people that enabled identification of the right cohorts through the cohort selection tool, or the EMIF catalogue. In a study that we’re doing at the moment we’ve already completed a study of 500 individuals and we’re now embarking on a study of 1000 individuals.
March 8, 2016 If you can gather all this data together – from historical data i.e. disease history, to the ‘omics’ data and genetic data – we could, for instance, develop a web-based service where patients could see how their past and current lifestyle decisions affect their disease risks. For example, if a patient knows he has a higher risk for smoking-induced cancer, that might motivate him to stop smoking – or if he has a genetic tendency to become obese in later life, then maybe that will motivate him to follow a healthier lifestyle.
March 8, 2016 Patient data, at the end of the day, belongs to individual people. We are sensitive to that and I think having the input of an independent external ethical advisory board shows just how careful we are being, which is important for the public to know. Having convened that group and meeting with them regularly is a very big step forward.

When asked about the issues around harnessing health data in Europe in Washington DC on October 27th, Prof Hans Georg Eichler, Senior Medical Officer of the European Medicines Agency responded, "I come from an area with hysterical data protection.”[1] Why would a regulator feel this way? Surely, Europe’s public health systems have access to health data that is second to none?

When it comes to sharing health data, solving the technical solutions of data sharing is more straightforward than structuring workable collaboration models that satisfy both data owners and researchers alike, says Bart Vannieuwenhuyse, Senior Director Health Information Sciences, Janssen Pharmaceutica; Coordinator EMIF.
