SYNTHIA is inviting citizens across Europe to take part in an important new survey exploring public perspectives on synthetic data in healthcare. As synthetic data becomes an increasingly relevant tool in medical research and innovation, understanding how people perceive its use is essential. SYNTHETIC DATA MATTERS, also to you - let us explain in just three key points: 1. It protects your privacy: Synthetic data is generated by advanced algorithms trained on real patient information, but it doesn’t identify any individual. Think of it as a safe, virtual version of real health data. 2. It helps improve healthcare: Researchers and developers can use synthetic data to build better AI, test new tools, and accelerate innovation - without putting sensitive personal data at risk. 3. It still depends on real human data: Synthetic data is powerful, but it’s only as good as the real data behind it. It can’t fully replace real patient experiences - so both are essential for meaningful progress. ___ SURVEY - YOUR VOICE MATTERS SYNTHIA, as a large European Public-Private partnership, is working to make synthetic data safer and more reliable in healthcare. As part of this effort, SYNTHIA Partner @patvocates has co-designed a survey together with the patient community to better understand perspectives and acceptance across #Europe on the use of synthetic data in medicine. With this post we are excited to announce the launch of the survey: “Your Voice Matters: European Survey on Synthetic Data in Healthcare”. ____ PARTICIPATE - Open the QR code in the image and participate in this survey (available in English, Spanish, German, Dutch, and French). - Please share this post and support our efforts to reach as much European citizens as possible.
