Ross’s participation underscored Aridhia’s ongoing commitment to building trustworthy, privacy-preserving solutions for health data use. Through its collaboration with PHEMS, Aridhia is helping establish a robust network of European hospitals that can securely share, analyze, and learn from each other’s data – all while maintaining compliance with data protection obligations.
The PHEMS project represents a major step forward in how healthcare institutions can collaborate responsibly, using federated approaches to drive better patient outcomes and advance medical research.
A huge thank you to Ross for sharing his expertise and helping to raise awareness about PHEMS, data federation, and the future of PHDS!
