" Data Protection and Privacy in Healthcare: Research and Innovations"

Security and Privacy concerns of any type of data is major issue in today’s technology-driven world. The term privacy is defined as an action where the data is kept hidden from either anonymous user, server to avoid use of malpractice of the data. In the world of distributed environment, the processing and storage of such multidimensional data is also done dynamically that too at different dynamic location keeping various transparencies in mind. In such scenario, privacy of data is important concern. Primarily there are some privacy techniques such as Anonymization, Generalization, Perturbation, Role Based Access Control, Encryption etc. Typically, according to researchers, data has different phases during its lifecycle: storage of data, transition of data, transfer of data and processing of data. Existing privacy preserving techniques are still in maturing stages and strong privacy protection is still an open research problem. There is research happened in maintaining privacy of healthcare in various areas viz. IoT-privacy based healthcare system, Machine learning in Healthcare data with privacy, maintaining privacy of healthcare big-data, privacy preserving cloud storage of healthcare data etc.

There are various advent technologies that have been used in healthcare domain. Machine learning algorithms for prediction of certain health parameter/data/diseases/behavior, IoT based Healthcare System, Data Analytics in Healthcare Blockchain Implementation in healthcare, Cloud based healthcare systems etc. Use of wearable technology used in healthcare used for continues patient monitoring, data streaming and sharing, use of data analysis to provide certain health services to the patients. It also uses patients past records, treatment given by healthcare experts/doctors, prescriptions, allergic details of a patient etc.

Healthcare industry is one of the largest and rapidly developing industries. According to IBM Global Business Services, Executive Report, 2012, the overall healthcare management is changing from disease centered to patient centered. While on one side- The analysis of healthcare data plays an important role in healthcare management, however on the other side- the privacy of patient’s record must be of equal concern. Preserving the privacy of medical data is not only an ethical but also a legal requirement, posed by several data sharing regulations and policies worldwide, such as the Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and the Data Protection Act etc. In addition, we are witnessing a wealth of approaches for preserving privacy in many phases of the healthcare information lifecycle, including the data collection, communication and sharing, as well as the knowledge management of healthcare information. To achieve privacy goals, these approaches employ various techniques, such as cryptography, access control, and data Anonymization, Generalization, Perturbation.

The aim of the edited book is to bring out research in Data Protection and Privacy in healthcare and addresses the issues of Privacy in newer technologies. The book will provide a forum for enthusiastic researchers on all topics related to data privacy technologies, Policies, breaches in privacy considering healthcare as a multidisciplinary domain.

The book also explores other timely aspects of privacy in areas such as usable security, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, cryptography, and big data only with the context of healthcare field. Other popular topics include privacy-enhancing technologies, privacy preserving healthcare data analytics, privacy aware wireless/mobile and embedded security, privacy policies. In addition, the book accepts peer-reviewed articles of wide interest under a general call, and also features regular columns on hot topics in privacy.
