April brought major updates in data transfer, AI regulation, and healthtech innovation—including EU adequacy extensions, new AI tools, and iliomad’s Advisory Board launch.

Regulators in Europe and the UK advance AI governance, data protection, and cybersecurity, while healthtech innovations like Owkin and Apple reshape digital healthcare.

In this edition, we cover major regulatory shifts and AI advancements shaping healthcare and data security. The U.S. tightens HIPAA security rules, the EU rolls out the European Health Data Space (EHDS) for cross-border health data exchange, and new U.S. regulations restrict sensitive health data transfers to certain countries. Meanwhile, AI is revolutionizing healthcare, with Truveta’s 10M-volunteer Genome Project, Owkin’s AI-powered drug development, and AI-driven medical scribes making waves—though accuracy concerns remain. On the data privacy front, GDPR fines have soared to €5.88B, with Ireland leading at €3.5B, and the UK ICO reports 36K data complaints and £1.27M in fines, highlighting ongoing challenges in digital security.

Our latest newsletter highlights critical updates in data privacy and healthtech from 2024, including GDPR data sharing guidelines, AI advancements like Cleerly’s imaging solutions, and ongoing challenges in data security and environmental sustainability. As we look toward 2025, we’re excited to continue driving innovation and helping navigate the evolving landscape of regulations, AI, and healthcare data management.
