About us
The Health Data Forum is an international platform dedicated to advancing healthcare through the smart, ethical, and impactful use of health data. Since its founding in 2020, the Forum has fostered thought leadership, collaboration, and innovation by bringing together data scientists, healthcare professionals, policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and patient advocates from around the world.
The annual Health Data Forum Global Hybrid Summit is a cornerstone of the Forum's activities. The 2026 edition—"EHDS in the Real World: From Policy to Implementation"—will take place on 24–25 September 2026 in Bilbao, Spain. Bringing together international and regional leaders, the Summit will explore how the European Health Data Space can be translated into practical implementation across health systems. The programme will include keynotes, expert panels, real-world use cases, strategic dialogue, and collaborative working sessions focused on trusted data environments, interoperability, genomics, medical imaging, cybersecurity, and the foundations required for better AI in healthcare.
Charitable Partner
We are deeply grateful to The Mathew Foundation for their generous support as our Charitable Partner. Their commitment to helping others aligns perfectly with our mission at the Health Data Forum to foster ethical, collaborative, and impactful innovation in health data.
Our Team
The Health Data Forum is driven by a passionate team of conveners, innovators, and collaborators dedicated to advancing health data literacy, responsible AI adoption, and meaningful cross-sector dialogue. Led by Paul Nunesdea, PhD, CPF, our Firestarter, and supported by an international ecosystem of contributors and partners, we organise global events, executive think tanks, and expert-led initiatives that help shape a more grounded and collaborative future for health and care.
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 supported by Architecting Collaboration, the platform that powers the activities of Health Data Forum Ltd and hosts our wider ecosystem of initiatives, expert networks, and collaborative programmes.
Through Real Data Better AI, our branded movement going forward, we advocate for a more grounded approach to digital health transformation — one that prioritises real-world data, real-world evidence, practical readiness, and responsible implementation. We believe better AI in healthcare must be built not only on technical progress, but on relevance, trust, governance, and human-centred learning.
