Generating healthy data systems

Digital health relies on secure data and the Netherlands, home to the Hague Security Delta, is a leader in cybersecurity. The Dutch are streamlining how citizens can share their medical histories. For example, integrated applications of data security systems are adding to the innovation and knowledge exchange in the Netherlands.
