Simulation environment for testing security and privacy of mobile health apps
Abstract
The number of mobile applications (apps) is tremendously growing and accordingly also the number of apps in the health domain (mobile Health or mHealth) is multiplying. As these mHealth apps process personal and sensitive data the analysis of handling security and privacy is a vital requirement - even more when the mobile application are to be used in a professional medical environment, such as a telemonitoring setup. Therefore a framework for testing security and privacy of mHealth apps is an important step towards better quality of apps. The paper describes the main challenges, the simulation architecture and the involved tools used for testing mHealth applications, focusing on secure network connectivity and data transfer.

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.
