Abstract
Wearable health tech provides doctors with the ability to remotely supervise their patients' wellness. It also makes it much easier to authorize someone else to take appropriate actions to ensure the person's wellness than ever before. Information Technology may soon change the way medicine is practiced, improving the performance, while reducing the price of healthcare. We analyzed the secrecy demands of wearable devices, including Smartphone, smart watch and their computing techniques, that can soon change the way healthcare is provided. However, before this is adopted in practice, all devices must be equipped with sufficient privacy capabilities related to healthcare service. In this paper, we formulated a new improved conceptual framework for wearable healthcare systems. This framework consists of ten principles and nine checklists, capable of providing complete privacy protection package to wearable device owners. We constructed this framework based on the analysis of existing mobile technology, the results of which are combined with the existing security standards. The approach also incorporates the market share percentage level of every app and its respective OS. This framework is evaluated based on the stringent CIA and HIPAA principles for information security. This evaluation is followed by testing the capability to revoke rights of subjects to access objects and ability to determine the set of available permissions for a particular subject for all models Finally, as the last step, we examine the complexity of the required initial setup.
Highlights
Given that healthcare is one of the most important aspects of our lives, and economy, it is not surprising that it is gaining attention in wearable technology
Given that the advanced communications technology has ensured that most individuals own Smartphones, which are capable of using 3rd party applications and many more devices connected to it, it was logical to find the ways for healthcare to benefit from this trend. This prompted the emergence of a new field called Mobile Health that, according to World Health Organization (WHO), has enabled health checkups to be conducted via Smartphone or some other type of wearable device
Since we have focused on information privacy on wearable devices, the Connecting for Health (CF) framework is deemed a more objective framework and, as it is user-centric, it will be covered
