Abstract

e-Consent - the digital capture of a patient’s consent to be involved in medical research - is a feature of biomedical research that is becoming increasingly prevalent with the advance of digital technology to support clinical/biomedical research and targeted registries. Although there have been many reviews of e-consent over the past decade - evaluating aspects such as informed consent, engagement, comprehension and data security - there remain unanswered questions about how e-consent fits in the context of recent data legislation and privacy demands such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This paper outlines key aspects of e-consent in the context of GDPR and the specific demands placed on biomedical registries used for diverse research objectives. We present a practical realisation of GDPR e-Consent in the context of the Australasian Diabetes Data Network (ADDN) – the national type-1 diabetes registry for Australia.
