[Digital data for more efficient prevention: ethical and legal considerations regarding potentials and risks].

Digitization offers considerable potential for strengthening prevention in the healthcare system. Data from various clinical and nonclinical sources can be collected in a structured way and systematically processed using algorithms. Prevention needs can thus be identified more quickly and precisely, and interventions can be planned, implemented, and evaluated for specific target groups.

Evaluation of holistic sexuality education: A European expert group consensus agreement.
