Access to healthcare data for research is limited due to privacy and business issues, which affects the ability to analyze patient pathways effectively.
The Smart FOX project aims to create methods and tools that allow patients to donate their health data voluntarily for research, building on Austria's Electronic Health Record system (ELGA).
Funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency, Smart FOX involves various stakeholders to develop governance frameworks and infrastructure, ultimately enhancing clinical research and preparing Austria for the European Health Data Space.
