Expert Data Protection Gathering in Lübeck: Navigating Medicine and Tech Challenges
Data protection professionals from both the federal and state governments will gather in Lübeck on Wednesday for a two-day meeting. The discussions will focus on critical data protection topics in the medical field, including medical research and medical registers, as well as the further development of data protection measures, according to Schleswig-Holstein's State Commissioner for Data Protection, Marit Hansen.
Technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence, and their impact on data protection, as well as the planned institutionalization of the data protection conference by the federal legislator, are significant aspects of the gathering. Hansen expressed hope that this event will lead to increased cooperation amongst the supervisory authorities, which is especially crucial during these rapidly evolving times in AI and data sharing.
Among the subjects likely to be discussed at the conference are:
- The application of data protection regulations in Germany, with its unique decentralized supervisory authority system
- The handling of special category data in accordance with the GDPR
- Necessary security measures for processing special categories of personal data
- The impact of AI on healthcare data management, including improvements in information accuracy, efficiency, and protection through real-time analysis, automation, and robust security measures
- Evolving regulations in the United States, such as proposing mandatory minimum cybersecurity standards for HIPAA-affected entities
- Compliance and risk management, including the importance of evidence-based decision-making, addressing technical debt, and fostering a data-driven culture
- Maintaining patient data integrity through AI and system changes
The comprehensive discussions at this gathering will enable participants to navigate the complex landscape of data protection in medicine, ensuring that regulatory compliance, technological advancements, and best practices work hand-in-hand to preserve the security and integrity of sensitive medical data.
