Better use of health data could transform healthcare and open new possibilities for research and innovation. With the European Health Data Space (EHDS), the EU is creating a common framework to make this possible across borders. This session explores how to turn this ambition into practice, what implementation requires, and how health data can deliver better outcomes for patients, health systems, and research.

When Children Take on the Role of Carers: The Unseen Role of Young Caregivers | Health Focus
German 90
They do the shopping, cook, take their relatives to the doctor, help their siblings, look after them and care for them – all whilst still going to school themselves. Due to their relatives’ chronic illnesses, ‘young carers’ often shoulder heavy responsibilities within their families that go unnoticed. This discussion sheds light on the realities of their lives and offers insights into a growing social alliance dedicated to supporting them – because young carers need all of us to help them shoulder these responsibilities whilst still being able to be children.  //INFO: This session is being held in German.
