DHS has worked with a number of the EU Presidencies where they have a focus of digital health. Today DHS is the Data and Digital arm of the ECHAlliance and its work is focused on thought leadership, an annual Summit, a Round Table programme on digital health and an AI Club (which includes tech, health, pharma and medtech businesses and academics, regulators and policy maker members).
