Health Data Sweden Next Level HDS-NL
Health Data Sweden (HDS) has been granted an extension as one of the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) within the EU's Digital Europe (Digital) program. With a total funding of SEK 50 million, half from the EU and half from Sweden, HDS continues its work to strengthen SMEs and the public sector in developing their digital maturity in health data.
HDS Next Level (HDS NL) aims to increase the use of health data within small and medium-sized enterprises as well as public organizations in healthcare by extending their knowledge and preparedness to use AI. HDS NL continues to offer competence development in health data topics and aims at upskilling users in AI in the healthcare context. Topics include but are not limited to data security, health data regulatory frameworks (Including GDPR, data protection impact assessment, AI Act), cybersecurity, health data management, health data analytics, business model development for start-ups in healthcare.
By developing processes to work with health data, HDS NL continues to support the transformation of collected health data into practically usable services for end users and improved health benefits for individuals, as it fosters the digitalization of the health sector providing an advanced understanding of the use of AI in healthcare.
Karlstad University, through Information Systems and Computer Sciences subjects, is participating in two work packages focused on access to knowledge and access to networks and innovation ecosystems.
HDS NL is financed by the EU (The Digital Europe Programme) and Vinnova.
