eMedLab

eMedLab is a research group in digital health and medical informatics at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech). It brings together researchers from the Centre for Digital Health and Business Information Technology research groups of the School of Information Technologies. The eMedLab research group, led by Professor Peeter Ross and Dr Gunnar Piho, consists of around twenty researchers exploring the opportunities and challenges of using human-owned and -controlled health and medical data and developing new methods and technologies to address these challenges.

Exploring new models for the management of secure and interoperable health data and the delivery of digital health services, eMedLab aims to contribute to a future where individuals, rather than institutions, are the primary stewards of health data and people are involved as co-creators of digital health services. Through its research, the group supports the development of ethically responsible and technically sound frameworks that balance privacy, accessibility and societal benefit.
