Abstract

Digital health offers several benefits from different perspectives. Therefore, the transition from paper to meaningful cost-effective electronic health records (E-HR) is the focus of several countries. In the literature, E-HR functionalities are discussed extensively. It may be noted that security measures to curb potential cyberthreats in E-HR need further attention. The working of health monitoring needs a transformation from a reactive mode to a proactive and predictive mode using contemporary technologies. While implementing the E-HR security/privacy perspective is essential since the safety of the medical records is key to the safe life of the patient. This paper highlights security/privacy issues, cyberthreats to E-HR, the pros, and cons of contemporary technologies such as IoT networks and discusses meaningful E-HR so that patients and society significantly benefit as believed by experts and policymakers.
