The primary aim of VERANDA is to explore and promote informational self-determination in the context of personal and sensitive medical data, especially among stigmatized groups. This includes advancing essential medical diagnostics,
such as cancer detection and clinical-psychological care, which has seen increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project is closely tied to the provision of personal data for research purposes, highlighting the importance of
effective risk-opportunity communication with patients and the public.
By examining the conditions under which patients are willing to share their data during online consultations, the project seeks to develop communication strategies that enhance users' understanding of relevant data protection technologies.
Today we had a very nice VERANDA BMBF-project kick-off. Together with Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Maija Poikela and Hannes Gieseler), Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) (Tim Polzehl, Roland Roller), Fraunhofer AISEC (Nikolai Lenski) and Quality and Usability Lab (Salar Mohtaj and me) we work on trustworthy anonymisation of sensitive medical records for remote consultation.
