Privacy and data security in E-health: Requirements from the user’s perspective

Wilkowska, Wiktoria, Ziefle, Martina·2012·Health Informatics Journal

Abstract

In this study two currently relevant aspects of using medical assistive technologies were addressed—security and privacy. In a two-step empirical approach that used focus groups (n = 19) and a survey (n = 104), users’ requirements for the use of medical technologies were collected and evaluated. Specifically, we focused on the perceived importance of data security and privacy issues. Outcomes showed that both security and privacy aspects play an important role in the successful adoption of medical assistive technologies in the home environment. In particular, analysis of data with respect to gender, health-status and age (young, middle-aged and old users) revealed that females and healthy adults require, and insist on, the highest security and privacy standards compared with males and the ailing elderly.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The patients were shown screenshots of a rehabilitation portal in which cues were embedded that have been found to increase trust in online services: login procedures with different authentication technologies, disclaimers, and visual appearance of the homepage.

    “The patients were shown screenshots of a rehabilitation portal in which cues were embedded that have been found to increase trust in online services: Login procedures with different authentication technologies [28], disclaimers [29], and the visual appearance of the homepage [30].”
  • With stronger emphasis on team-based care and continuity of care across institutional borders, and identity management and access control across different health systems, the processes of sharing become important.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
