On 12 November, the benefits and risks of digital health technologies were discussed at the COSMO Science Forum as part of a Science Café. Four experts presented their perspectives on health apps and data protection in keynote speeches. The 14 participants then exchanged views in small groups and formulated questions that were later answered and discussed.

Key topics were data protection for digital health applications and electronic patient records.
