Our Mission
Our mission is to create spaces for dialogue that generate value, helping health systems move from data collection to actionable insights, from innovation to equity, and from policy to practice.
To expand this vision, we are now supported by Architecting Collaboration—a platform that powers the activities of the Health Data Forum Ltd Charity and hosts our global initiatives, consulting network, and event ecosystem.
In alignment with the "Data First, AI Later" movement, jointly launched by the Health Data Forum and the Health Parliament with the Scientific Support of the European Institute for Innovation through Health Data (i~HD), we also advocate for prioritising data integrity, transparency, and ethical governance as foundational pillars for trustworthy AI in healthcare. By championing a data-first mindset, we aim to ensure that innovation is not only cutting-edge but also equitable, inclusive, and grounded in human-centric values
