GDPR for Medical Devices

Home / Trainings and events / GDPR for Medical Devices

Medical devices, especially software, can involve storing and processing sensitive personal health data as defined in General Data Protection Regulation GDPR. Compliance with the regulation builds trust towards customers and patients, supports controlled and efficient data processing and helps to manage business-critical data protection risks.

Meeting the requirements of data protection regulation requires that the processes and information systems in which personal data are processed take the regulation into account. GDPR compliance is not achieved only by producing a privacy statement and the gaps in data protection implementation are a risk to business continuity.

Practical considerations related to GDPR for Medical devices are summarized in this training.

Topics of this session

  • Personal data – what is personal data?
  • Data protection principles
  • Legal basis of personal data collection
  • Planning and resources – critical tasks
  • Measures and reporting

  • Perspectives (legal, process, technical)
  • Data protection risk management
  • Implementation challenges and solutions
