The International Health Data Workshop (HEDA 2021) (https://heda.isp.uni-luebeck.de ) in conjunction with 10th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering (MEDI 2021, https://cs.ttu.ee/events/medi2021/) 
Objectives and topics 
--------------------------- 
Health data covers a brought range of data influencing people's health monitoring, analysing, and predicting. In general, it includes all such data such as environmental data, individual data gathered, for example, via fitness trackers and especially clinical data. 
The routine clinical data are considered precious, and their secondary use is considered beneficial for policymakers, public health officers, scientists, clinicians, citizens and industry. Different initiatives, including European Health Data Network and Clinical Trial Data initiative, initiated by the European Commission and the EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations), are searching for better solutions for utilising citizens' health data. However, due to the semantic heterogeneity of health data, we still do not have a unified approach and use divide-and-conquer approaches instead. To facilitate big-data analytics one is dependent of optimised data sharing and data reuse, but it is still lacking despite different interoperability standards in the medical domain. 
HEDA 2021 aims to bring together academics, practitioners and other interested attendees for presentations, and discussions in the domain of health data modelling, interoperability, and analytics. The aim is to create a broader community to explore the potential for open secondary use and analytics of citizens' health data and develop and evaluate the solutions to make it happen. We emphasise here the central role of citizens, as data holders, whose privacy, active consent and control must be ensured when processing the health data in a global context. 
HEDA 2021 invites paper submission, including position and work-in-progress papers, about unpublished research covering all aspects of health data modelling, interoperability and analytics.
