International Genomic Data Sharing by Health Technologies Industries: Points to Consider

This document outlines Points to Consider (PtC) for the responsible sharing of human genomic and

health data internationally by Health Technologies Industries (HTI). HTI can contribute unique resources,

technologies, and expertise to translating genomic discoveries into improvements in human health.

International data sharing can further accelerate research and innovation. It can strengthen statistical

power and reproducibility, facilitate collaboration and creative re-use of real-world evidence, increase

the representativeness of precision medicine databases, and power AI approaches (including machine learning,

deep learning and predictive modeling) that support genomic interpretation and clinical decision-making.
