Networking break and coffee

Timo Minssen, Professor at Copenhagen University and founding director of UCPH's Center for Advanced Studies in Biomedical Innovation Law (CeBIL). AI/ML and other technologies rely on computational power, which i.e. requires an effective international data transfer and cloud computing. The EU-US “Privacy Shield” Framework allows the free transfer of data to companies that are certified in the US under the EU-US Privacy Shield which has been widely used by companies in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector. However, recent US litigation on data misuses have raised new questions and the EU-US Privacy Shield has been recently contested. Timo Minssen will talk about some of these challenges to international data transfer regimes and what it implies for Medical AI Technologies.

The Danish Medicines Agency by Thomas Wejs Møller, Section Leader, Medical Devices. Thomas Wejs Møller will focus on the special challenges that may exist for health technology companies in the CE marking process, both in accordance with the current rules and in accordance with the new regulations on medical devices. In addition, Thomas Wejs Møller will provide a status on the implementation of the regulations, including the latest news on the capacity of notified bodies, and on challenges related to Brexit.
