Data Protection Law on Healthcare in the UK and China
Over the past five years, China and the UK have increasingly adopted digital health tools, a trend further amplified by the COVID-19 crisis. This surge has seen the rise of digital tools and apps for screening, diagnostics, treatment, and population health surveillance. As these tools proliferate, they raise critical questions about balancing public health benefits with individual data protection rights.
Our joint collaboration aims to address three fundamental issues: ensuring better data governance that both protects individual data and promotes innovation in digital health, collaborating across disciplines to enhance cybersecurity against unauthorized access and use, and establishing safeguards for the cross-border transfer of health data during health crises.
