The second and final  – virtual – review meeting for the seCUre and pRivate hEalth data eXchange (CUREX) H2020 co-funded research project (https://curex-project.eu/) with external reviewers and the project officer from the European Commission side, took place May 18, 2022,  wherein the CUREX consortium successfully presented the final results of the project. UBITECH, as a task leader, imlemeted and provided the Privacy Assessment Tool (PAT), which presented as part of the live demonstrations of the project.

The Privacy Assessment Tool (PAT) provides health care organisations with the appropriate privacy levels in complete alignment with the GDPR directives to protect patients’ personal and sensitive clinical data. PAT performs an analysis of the privacy risks as produced by the cyber assets of the ICT infrastructure, the identified vulnerabilities and the business processes that concerns the processing and exchange of sensitive data. PAT has been designed to support the decision making in health care organisations by providing an overview of the privacy risks and by assisting the prioritisation of mitigation efforts properly.

The reviewers and the PO were excited with the overall results of the project and provided some really interesting feedback and recommendations for future, post-project work.
