Bridging the Gap: The New Pan-European Observatory as a Catalyst for EHDS

On 26 September, on the sidelines of its annual General Assembly, the Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) is hosting a hybrid event in Vienna and online, bringing together HTA agencies, researchers, industry representatives and patients from across Europe. This gathering will explore how the recently launched H2O Pan-European Observatory (PEO) can play a pivotal role in aligning digitally captured patient outcomes with the European Health Data Space (EHDS) legislation. As a key player in connecting data from national health outcomes observatories, the PEO stands to be a catalyst for EHDS implementation, empowering Europe to harness the potential of health data sourced directly from patients.

The event will feature three roundtables offering a unique platform for discussions on how standardized patient data can drive evidence-based research and policymaking.

In a groundbreaking first, H2O will also unveil how its vision is coming to life. Attendees will experience live demos, offering a hands-on look at how H2O is turning its promising potential into action.

The event will further help bridge the gap between regulators, healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients, ultimately shaping the future of health data in Europe.

Let’s shape the future of healthcare and data together – register now for this event!
