Abstract

Although a lot of healthcare related data exist in Flanders, only a very limited part of it is available to the patient/citizen. MyHealthData investigates the potential added value of disclosing healthcare data to the patient, by providing future scenarios for successful data uses. We will focus on the possibilities of data usage (analytics & visualisation), the interplay with and effect on patient and caregiver (user experience), and legal implications, in a joint endeavour of all involved stakeholders, i.e. patients, caregivers, evidence-based medicine actors, EHR (Electronic Health Record) providers, health insurers and the government. In the proof-of-concept patient portal MyHealthData, tools to explore medical and medical use data will be devised. With these tools, we will interactively investigate with patients,which future scenarios built on 'healthcare big data' should be strived for.
