Der Mann mit der Brille und die DSGVO - Der Begriff des Gesundheitsdatums.

The article "The Man with the Glasses and the GDPR - The Concept of Health Data" examines the concept of health data in relation to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulation on the European health data space. Health data is particularly sensitive information and an important common good. There is a tension between the protection of privacy and healthcare. The article mentions the planned establishment of a European health data space and the importance of access to and exchange of health data for research and healthcare. It also refers to the draft of a German health data usage law that pursues similar goals as the European health data space. The article emphasizes the importance of the concept of health data and the uncertainty regarding its definition. The article deals with the delimitation and definition of health data. It emphasizes that information such as medical diagnoses, injuries, or reports on diseases are considered health data. Information about the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs can also contain implicit statements about diseases. The processing of health data can also influence automated decisions. It is discussed whether the concept of health data should be more precisely defined to avoid legal uncertainty. [Extracted from the article]

In diesem Beitrag wird der Begriff der Gesundheitsdaten i.S. der DSGVO und der vorgeschlagenen Verordnung zum europäischen Gesundheitsdatenraum kritisch untersucht und es werden Lösungsvorschläge de lege lata wie de lege ferenda unterbreitet. Gesundheitsdaten sind besonders schützenswerte Informationen über den Einzelnen - und zugleich ein besonders wichtiges Gemeinschaftsgut (sogleich I). Der Begriff der Gesundheitsdaten i.S. der DSGVO ist heillos umstritten und unklar (unten II), das Regelungskonzept des Art. 9 DSGVO insgesamt fragwürdig (unten III). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
