Seeking to establish a dynamic platform for the innovative use of health data, the French Ministry of Health and Social Security announced in October 2018 the creation of the Health Data Hub — a one-stop shop for secure access to health data needed for projects in the public interest. In January, the initiative, which aims to make France a leader in the use of health data, issued its first call for projects with the potential to make a significant impact in the areas of research, patient information and follow-up, support for providers, and overall health system improvement. Selected projects will obtain a full year’s worth of technical and financial support.
