Better Together: Building a Global Health Network Economy through Data Collaboration

This white paper presents a vision for a global health data network economy, offering a transformative approach to address healthcare challenges through collaboration and innovation. It explores the critical enablers for health data collaboration and the success stories and strategies needed to create impactful, scalable solutions in healthcare.

Despite the rapid growth of health data, its full potential to improve patient outcomes, enhance efficiency and drive innovation remains largely untapped. Global healthcare systems continue to face persistent challenges, including rising chronic disease rates, ageing populations and disparities in access and outcomes.

Unlocking the power of health data requires a coordinated effort among stakeholders globally. Under the Digital Healthcare Transformation Initiative, the World Economic Forum and Capgemini are developing a global platform to drive greater health data collaboration via practical steps to build a comprehensive data environment and implement impactful data exchanges and applications.
