摘要:Today,global health systems are undergoing a fundamental change. We have transitioned to radically new ways in which we can improve the generation and,respectively,the access to unimaginable amounts of information. Thanks to the emergence and development of Big Data,we can now transform the approaches by which we control this information. The consequence for healthcare and digital health is that we now have an improved ability to control and cure disease. On the other hand,the fact that it is patients’ data being used,brings specific issues. We need to consider who,if anyone,has a justified claim to ownership of the information,and – what seems to be even more important: can the creation of a proprietary regime on patient information in the reality of Big Data help to improve health?
