Informed consent, at its core, is a process of communication between an individual and a professional that leads to an agreement or permission for a specific action, such as a medical treatment, participation in research, or the use of personal data. It ensures that the individual has sufficient information and understanding before making a decision about accepting potential risks or benefits. This principle is fundamental in upholding an individual's autonomy—their right to make decisions about their own body and affairs.
