When the flow of information on the Internet and mobile devices is growing exponentially fast, it is very important to have requirements of governance and ethics. Health industry is one of those fields where data is especially sensitive and specialists must be able to collect, manage and store it very responsibly. Responding to the industry’s needs, the project ATHIKA was started two years ago with a strong focus on governance and ethics topics.

In the beginning of this year more than 180 students from Europe joined the online training and gained knowledge in IoT, AI and Ethics and Governance in the eHealth context for a few months. In the first part of the ATHIKA course, named Fundamentals part, an overview of the three previous topics was delivered through a combination of online lectures, readings, videos, quizzes, laboratory assignments and work in groups.
