According to a recent article published by the medical journal Dagens Medisin, in Norway, despite the wealth of health data available, researchers face significant hurdles in accessing and utilising this information effectively. Reports indicate that stringent privacy regulations and complex approval processes can delay data access by up to 12–15 months, hindering timely research and innovation. Additionally, concerns regarding data security have led to the suspension of major health data platforms, further complicating the landscape.
These challenges are not unique to Norway. Globally, healthcare systems grapple with balancing data privacy against the need for efficient data sharing to advance medical research and improve patient outcomes. The tension between safeguarding personal information and enabling data-driven healthcare solutions is a common thread across nations.
Addressing these issues requires platforms that prioritise both security and usability. Key features include:
1. Robust data governance: Ensuring compliance with international privacy standards while facilitating data access.
2. User-friendly interfaces: Allowing healthcare professionals to navigate and utilise data without extensive technical expertise.
3. Integrated analytics: Providing tools for real-time data analysis within secure environments.
