Short introduction describing the scope of the group and if any previous activities
After two successful former meetings held at P9 in Barcelona and at P10 in Montreal, the Health Data Interest Group (HDIG) has gained support within the RDA community for the idea of establishing a WG focusing on Blockchain in Health data, as a technological advanced solution for securing data sharing among clinical institutions and individuals, bringing digital trust over a potentially un-trustable network.
The aim of establishing a dedicated WG is:
- to analyse and compare usages of the blockchain in healthcare, implementations of blockchain architectures, associated legal and socio-economic impacts and perspectives
- to assess the potential of blockchain-based self-enacting smart contracts in handling consent and data permission systems minimising transaction costs
- to assess whether and how the blockchain can ensure compliance with advanced data protection requirements (such as those defined by the EU General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR), yet making it happen seamlessly and efficiently, at scale.
The Group has been showing an anticipated awareness of a potential game-changer in the organisation of data access and data consenting, and Blockchain is recording an extended interest from various quarters.
Therefore, the "Blockchain applications in Health WG" has started the official RDA recognition process by submitting the case statement and is undergoing the review and endorsement process. The next Plenary in Berlin will be the occasion for the first offical meeting of the newly instituted WG, and to start addressing the WG objectives, activities, internal organization and deliverables, as described in the WG Case statement.
