These expert-led Deep Dive Sessions bring together global thought leaders and local pioneers to examine some of the most urgent frontiers in health data innovation.
Whether you're interested in how genomics and pharmacogenomics can improve patient safety, or how to design ethical and transparent strategies for patient engagement in secondary data use, these interactive tutorials are designed to spark insights, peer learning, and cross-sector collaboration—setting the tone for the summit ahead.
14:00 - 17:00 Deep Dive Sessions
Deep Dive: Genomics, Pharmacogenomics & Patient Safety
Led by João Breda, Iñaki Gutiérrez-Ibarluzea & Antonio Pardinas
This interactive session brings together global and local experts to explore how genomic insights can improve patient safety and prescribing practices. With contributions from the WHO (Athens), Cardiff University, and NHS-linked research teams, the session will examine the ethical, clinical, and technical dimensions of applying pharmacogenomics and predictive modelling in real-world healthcare. Designed as a peer-learning experience, it will combine focused presentations with roundtable dialogue to deepen understanding and inspire international collaboration.
Deep Dive: Patient Engagement Strategies for the Secondary Use of Health Data
Led by Finn McCartney, Ceri Steele, Chris Carrigan & Liz Merrifield
This participatory session explores how to build trust and transparency in the secondary use of health data through meaningful patient and public engagement. Led by experts from EUPATI, use MY data, and Cardiff University, the session will feature real-world case studies, practical tools, and facilitated discussions. It offers a valuable opportunity for cross-sector learning on data ethics, consent, and co-design—grounded in the lived experience of patients and the realities of data-intensive research.
