In advocating for a health data governance framework, Transform Health aims to engage people and politicians in the discussion on how we can build trust in the collection, use, management, sharing and disposal of our personal health data.
My Data, Our Health is a global campaign by Transform Health that is being driven by community-based organisations who are engaging individuals on questions of access, control and rights over their health data. We are shifting health data from a technical issue to a personal one by putting individuals in the driving seat and amplifying their stories.
The My Data, Our Health campaign is starting a public and political conversation on the following questions:
- Who determines how our health data is collected, managed, stored and disposed of?
- What are the limits of this authority?
- How can we ensure this data is being used for public benefit purposes?
- How much access and control do and should individuals have over their health data?
- How can we ensure this ownership and control is respected and protected?
Find out how you can engage with the campaign in 4 ways.
1. Where’s My Data?
Take the Where’s My Data? campaign action action to contribute to the conversation on how much control we have over our health data and digital health information.
Go to your usual health centre and ask for your electronic health records or digital health information. Film a video sharing your experiences of what happens next.
Your experiences will be shared across the world to influence advocacy and public perception. Interested? Sign up!
