LunaDNA Elevates Platform To Further Adhere To GDPR's Data Privacy Framework To Deliver Data Rights To Individuals Who Participate In Health Research

Key Facts

In addition, the GDPR framework confers a level of transparency and control to the individual in their data usage, which encourages greater inclusion and diversity in research studies and in clinical environments where participant empowerment is key.
"Giving the power over one's data back to the individual versus an institution should go a long way toward keeping individuals engaged and ensuring that health research will be more inclusive," says Sharon Terry, president and CEO of Genetic Alliance and iHope Genetic Health.
"At Luna, we see a world of research in which diversity and inclusion can be extended beyond the boundaries of countries to help deliver on the many needs that still exist to improve human health and well-being."
With participation from over 180 countries and communities advancing causes including disease-specific, public health, environmental, and emerging interests, Luna's tools and services empower these collectives to gather a wide range of data -- health records, lived experience, disease history, genomics, and more -- to advance research that addresses their unique health needs.
