Clinnova at the Basel Digital Health Workshop Series

Clinnova was part of the 8th Personalized Health Series hosted by Personalized Health Basel (PHB), DayOne Basel Area, and the Innovation Office of the University of Basel held on October 30th, 2025.

The workshop convened experts from academia, hospitals, and industry to explore the future of data-driven healthcare in Switzerland and beyond. Discussions highlighted that democratizing health data requires more than technology. It demands collaboration, trust, governance, and shared value creation. Topics included data ownership, centralization versus individual solutions, public-private cooperation, and the shift from risk-averse to benefit-driven use of health data.

Dr. Bebeka Cosandey (Lead Scientific Program Manager for Clinnova, Basel) contributed as a speaker and panelist, sharing insights on Clinnova’s federated, cross-border data ecosystem. The presentation demonstrated how secure, interoperable, and actionable patient data can empower clinicians and researchers, drive innovation, and support evidence-based decision-making.

The workshop featured examples from Sheba Medical Center, University Hospital Basel, and solutions from SPHN, ML Commons, Clever Identity, and MDClone ADAMS, emphasizing the importance of coordination, trust, and clear value creation for advancing the health data ecosystem.

As a leading collaborative initiative in data-driven healthcare, Clinnova remains committed to advancing secure, interoperable, and actionable health data solutions that empower researchers, clinicians, and patients and to shaping the future of personalized medicine through innovation and cross-border collaboration.
