Ensuring data quality and protecting data are key requirements when working with health-related data. Re-identification risks of feature-rich data sets have led to the dissolution of the hard boundary between data protected by data protection laws (GDPR) and anonymized data sets. To solve this problem, the TrustNShare project is creating a transparent data trust that acts as a trusted intermediary. This allows for secure and controlled data exchange, while offering flexible datasharing options, considering trustworthiness, risk tolerance, and healthcare interoperability. Empirical studies and participatory research will be conducted to develop a trustworthy and effective data trust model.
