The development of digital platforms containing patient health data raises scientific, technical, legal, regulatory and governance issues and, by their very nature, necessarily ethical questions. The CCNE and the CNPEN have taken up these issues themselves in a new joint opinion on "Health data platforms: ethical issues" (Opinion 143 CCNE/Avis 5 CNPEN), which they are making public today. Their 21 recommendations are aimed at public authorities, researchers, developers and managers of SDPs and the general public.
