The projects emphasise the secondary use of valuable social and health care data. This means the use of customer and register data for purposes other than their primary purpose. Act on the Secondary Use of Health and Social Data, which entered into force this spring, promotes the secure use of this information.

This cooperation will combine the parties' complementary strengths, such as expertise in social and health care sector productivity and technologies, high-quality data resources and internationally top-level research methods.

Bringing results to benefit the societal use

Efforts will be made to publish the results of the studies in prestigious international publications. In addition, information will be disseminated through domestic channels to the maximum extent possible for use by decision-makers and society.

The aims of the research cooperation include supporting the next stages of the national social and health care system reform work.

鈥淲e are pleased about this closer cooperation with the National Institute for Health and Welfare 鈥 it enables valuable synergies as we seek to put our research expertise to greater use in society," says Markus M盲kel盲, Executive in Residence and Director of Aalto Health Platform, which develops health and well-being research and cooperation agreements.
