Data Altruism in Healthcare: Pierluigi Vacca on UNICA’s Citizen-Centered Approach
Pierluigi Vacca, Partner and CPO from Datrix, discusses the concept of data altruism and its transformative potential in healthcare.
Pierluigi explains how voluntarily sharing health data for the common good can accelerate medical discoveries, improve personalized treatments, and support early detection of diseases, all while keeping privacy fully protected. He highlights how UNICA uses federated learning, allowing AI to learn from data locally in hospitals without ever moving sensitive patient information.
This approach empowers citizens to contribute to research safely and helps create a more inclusive, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare ecosystem across Europe.
