Appendix A
Statement of Task
A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will plan and host a 1.5-day public workshop that will examine opportunities and challenges, including validation, data security, and patient privacy issues, for the use of digital health applications in oncology. The workshop will feature invited presentations and panel discussions on topics such as:
- An overview of existing and emerging digital health applications and the potential benefits and risks associated with their use.
- Strategies to validate digital health applications, regulate their use, and mitigate potential risks associated with their use.
- Strategies for protecting the security of data collected using digital health applications.
- Patient privacy considerations, especially given the potential for data linkage with data from other sources of personal information.
- Best practices and principles for access to and consent for the use of patient data generated by digital health applications.
- Ways to integrate patient-generated health data into electronic health records and clinical workflow.
- Lessons learned from other industries and/or countries that could inform digital health application development and use.
The planning committee will develop the agenda for the workshop sessions, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discus-
