7 years of General Data Protection Regulation : protecting privacy and strengthening patient trust

Posted on 05.06.2025

As we mark seven years of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), MedTech Europe highlights the importance of strong data protection in building and maintaining patient trust. Medical technologies increasingly rely on data, from connected devices to digital health tools, to support better care.

Ensuring that this data is handled responsibly and securely is essential. At the same time, companies need clear and consistent rules to use health data in ways that improve safety, performance, and outcomes. A balanced approach to privacy helps protect individuals while enabling medical technology innovation that benefits patients and healthcare systems across Europe.
