In the past two years, 90% of medical institutions in the United States have experienced data breaches, resulting in a loss of $6.2 billion annually. Since medical data is so easy to leak, why should we increase the accessibility of medical information ?
A report at the end of 2016 showed that the US medical industry lost an average of $6.2 billion annually due to data breaches. As the combination of the Internet and healthcare becomes more and more tight, medical data leaks are becoming easier.
To better protect health data, Europe launched a project called KONFIDO to enhance network security by identifying and blocking cyber attacks. The project was funded by the EU 2020 Horizon project and 15 different partners from industry, industry and health industries joined. One of the goals of the program is to develop a computer program that can quickly identify potential cyber threats to health data. This computer program not only recognizes network threats well, but also circumvents network attacks by moving threatened data to a more secure place over the Internet.
Erol Gelenbe, a professor at Imperial College of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, played an important role in the KONFIDO project. Below, Gelenbe details the many benefits of sharing health information online and the health data protection projects he is involved in.
Q: How many health data can be found online in the UK?
Erol Gelenbe: In most hospitals and other medical institutions in the UK and Western Europe, all health data is stored on the computer, and the computers that store the data are all networked. The world has become more interconnected, allowing some trusted institutions to share more health data over the web. There are already some safeguards that protect health data at all times and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
Q: What type of information can be found online?
Erol Gelenbe: On the Internet, only qualified and relevant medical personnel can access these health information. These health information includes the following: a. Information about the patient's past medical history; b. Patient's past and current medication status and possible adverse drug reaction records; c. Some data on medical expenses and bills; d. Blood test, test and mental health data; f. Biopsy, image breaks (X-ray scan, sonic and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging) and information on family history.
Specifications
