La requalification des données de soins en données de recherche : enjeux éthiques et blocages normatifs

Big data technologies increase the opportunities of health research, at the expense of a systematic requalification of the healthcare data in research data. There is no doubt about the interest of such practices in a vision of progress. Nevertheless, they make the frontline between care and research porous, and imply the necessity to adapt legal and regulatory frameworks. In this context, the emergence of the concept of research that does not involve human subjects is questionable when it designates research practices involving human data and biological samples. It questions both the scope of the human person and the way ethics of research is thought.
