Data-driven healthcare will result in a “tsunami” of information from existing and new data sources including patient-generated data from genetic testing, consumer devices such as wearable fitness apps, and social media. How can clinicians and researchers utilise this data to help consumers achieve better health outcomes? How can consumers control who has access to their data?

This research project examines legal and regulatory requirements around the consent to use health-related data in New Zealand, Australia, the European Union and the United States of America, and recommends changes and enhancements to existing practices.
