My Health Data(Personal Health Record) is designed to substantively secure individuals’ data sovereignty and right to self-determination over their personal health information, enhance the continuity and efficiency of healthcare delivery, and facilitate personalized healthcare services. Simultaneously, it aims to maximize the social value of health data across both public and private sectors, thereby fostering systemic innovation within the healthcare ecosystem.
Grounded in this problem recognition, the present study systematically examined the current status and policy trajectories of My Health Data(Personal Health Record) systems in both domestic and international contexts. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with a diverse range of stakeholders―including experts, industry representatives, and healthcare institution personnel―to capture field-level experiences and perceptions. Furthermore, by comprehensively analyzing perception surveys administered to the general public and pilot project participants, the study identified structural limitations of the existing system and derived key policy implications for improvement.
The findings suggest that, for My Health Data(Personal Health Record) to be institutionalized as a national digital health information integration platform that advances citizen-centered medical innovation, comprehensive ecosystem restructuring at both institutional and service levels is required. In particular, a strategic policy shift is necessary to prioritize the maximization of patient control and user convenience, the establishment of a coherent governance framework, the assurance of interoperability across healthcare institutions, the design of sustainable compensation and participation incentive mechanisms, and the strengthening of utilization strategies centered on primary care.
