The International Symposium on Data Policies for National Health Data Utilization

Efficient provision of effective medical care for maintenance and promotion of thepeople’s health is a common issue of the nations. In advanced countries in
Scandinavia and Asia, efforts have been made to utilize medical data on a nationalscale. In Japan, the national database (NDB), has been developed based on theuniversal health insurance policy, and its use is under consideration. However, there
are a multitude of problems to be solved, such as the delay in data digitization andthe personal information protection. In this symposium, we will invite our research
partners from Taiwan and Thailand and discuss how we can take advantage of thenational population data, a treasure trove of useful information, while protecting
privacy of the people, a common responsibility of the nations. Let's think about theideal global health policy research for the digital transformation (DX) generation.
Can we share the national population data for better health of the people across theborders? What should we keep in mind then? We will try to find the path of datautilization for the global health policy development from the viewpoints of thepeople’s health and law and ethics in the DX era.
