The amount of health data has grown exponentially in the last decade, but ecosystem stakeholders are still struggling to unlock its full value. With the upcoming EU regulatory framework introducing new challenges, and opportunities, our document aims to help you navigate this complex environment.

From 2010 to 2020 the volume of data and information created, captured, copied, and consumed worldwide increased by 40% with an additional expected increase of 23% by 2025, according to Statista 2023, RBC Capital Markets 2022, MedTech Europe 2022.

However, only 2% of the data produced and consumed in 2020 was retained in 2021 and 97% of all data produced by hospitals remains unused.

Several initiatives have been launched to support data sharing and regulate its use (e.g., European Health Data Space) with the aim of unleashing the full potential of health data. Yet, managing and optimising health data in this rapidly changing environment is a complex topic.
