This webinar was held on 22 June 2026, supported by EHTEL and the Laurel and xShare projects. The joint webinar brought together contributors from both projects, along with experts. 

The session asked fundamental questions along these lines:

• What do patients and informal carers need from digital data sharing in integrated long-term care?
• How can citizen-mediated data sharing be guaranteed?
• Are current policies and tools answering these needs?
