BLOG – Keeping data closed enough for citizen security, but open enough for research

The balance to be met is to keep data closed enough for citizen protection, but open enough for research. This means achieving an ethical balance, avoiding any harm to the patient, while doing societal good in research.

This is privacy by design.
