Re-use of Patient Data in Scientific Research to Train AI Systems — Important GDPR Considerations

Patient data can be sourced from various places, including healthcare records collected by institutions such as the NHS, voluntary registries where patients consent to sharing their data for research, or data obtained from previous clinical trials.
