Panel discussion on Patients and Mydata
Panel moderated by Mikael Rinnetmäki, founder, Sensotrend Ltd
The panel discussion focuses on how individuals use data from their medical devices for personalized care and better outcomes of care. The panel discusses concerns about the matter and proposes models for the development activity of the individuals as innovators/researches around privacy and security of personal data. The panel also demonstrates how the regulatory authorities have reacted to this kind of development and shows how these empowered patients have already affected the medical technology industry.
