The European Health Data Space (EHDS) Webinar Series

1. Introduction to the EHDS: scope, objectives and timeline

This kick-off session will provide a strategic overview of the EHDS, explaining its scope, objectives and structure, as well as the implementation roadmap and key milestones. We will also explore how the EHDS fits within the broader EU data and digital regulation landscape (including the GDPR and AI Act) and highlight strategic opportunities and challenges for stakeholders across the value chain.

Speakers:

• Jérémie Doornaert
• Emilie Danglades-Perez

2. Primary use of health data: rights, obligations and digital health transformation

This session will focus on the EHDS rules governing the primary use of electronic health data in care settings. We will discuss new rights for individuals, obligations for healthcare providers and Member State authorities, and what this means for the digital transformation of health systems, including telemedicine, EHR deployment and AI-enabled clinical tools.

Speakers:

• Camille Saettel
• Tina Gausling

3. Secondary use of health data: research, innovation, AI and compliance

The third session will explore the EHDS framework for secondary use of electronic health data – from research and innovation to public health and regulatory activities. We will look at legal bases and safeguards, the role of health data access bodies and secure processing environments, and the implications for key stakeholders such as pharma, medtech, research organisations and AI developers.

Speakers:

• Jérémie Doornaert
• Industry guest speakers

4. EHDS and the TMT sector: impact on data platforms, AI and digital services

This session will focus on what the EHDS means for technology providers and digital platforms operating in healthcare and adjacent sectors. We will examine how EHDS requirements apply to EHR vendors, data intermediaries, cloud and infrastructure providers, and AI solution providers, and how these intersect with other horizontal digital laws.

Speakers:

• Matteo Susta
• Christopher Götz

5. Artificial intelligence in the EHDS: regulatory requirements and opportunities

This webinar will deep dive into the regulation of AI within the EHDS framework. We will consider how AI systems used in healthcare and EHR environments are regulated, how the EHDS interacts with the AI Act, and what this means in practice for conformity assessment, certification and the use of health data for AI development.

Speakers:

• Alex Wenzel
• Emilie Danglades-Perez

6. Cross-border data flows and international impact – APAC and Middle East edition

This session will examine EHDS rules on cross-border data flows and third-country access from an Asia and Middle East perspective. We will discuss how EHDS data transfer rules, reciprocity requirements and secure access mechanisms affect organisations outside the EU that access or process EU health data, and what APAC and Middle East-based companies should do now.

Speakers:

• Alexandra Harmer
• Jingyuan Shi

7. Cross-border data flows and international impact – US edition

Focusing on the transatlantic dimension, this session will address how the EHDS will interact with US regulatory frameworks and data practices. We will explore how US-based organisations accessing or processing EU health data should approach EHDS compliance, and how to design robust, future-proof data and AI strategies.

Speakers:

• Emily Jones

8. Sectoral deep dives and case studies

This webinar will provide sector-specific insights through practical case studies. We will look at how the EHDS affects pharma, medtech, insurers and digital health start-ups, with a focus on operationalising compliance and enabling innovation, including for AI-driven products and services.

Speakers:

• Alexandre Regniault
• Annabelle Bruyndonckx

9. Dispute resolution, enforcement and IP/trade secrets under the EHDS

The closing session will address contentious and strategic issues arising under the EHDS. We will consider enforcement trends, potential disputes between data holders and data users, and how to protect intellectual property and trade secrets in an environment that encourages wider access and sharing of health data.

Speakers:

• Caroline von Nussbaum
• Frédérique Potin
