Ensuring privacy and security of eHealth systems
The healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors typically generate and manage large volumes of sensitive data.
While the collection and storage of such data are crucial for scientific research, statistics and the efficient management of businesses involved, they also raise significant concerns about security, protection of privacy and anonymity within the e-Health systems. As a result, patients may be refrained from sharing their clinical data and trials, in so generating other considerable social and management costs.
