Ethics of data-driven innovation in the treatment and prevention of sudden cardiac arrest

Ethics of data-driven innovation in the treatment and prevention of sudden cardiac arrest ESCAPE-NET aims to discover inherited, acquired and environmental causes of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and to improve resuscitation treatment for SCA. A shared database of more than 100,000 SCA patients has been created and less than 10,000 DNA samples collected, with procedures for data access by researchers outside the project consortium. ESCAPE-NET has generated 90 peer-reviewed scientific papers.
