DIGITAL HEALTH: DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY WITH CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Digital health is the convergence of digital technology in healthcare. The emerging technology and the use of changes are needed in healthcare for advancements and better outcomes. With the use of new innovations, new threats and challenges are emerging in the industry, which needs to be managed for efficient operations. The paper talks about the rising demand for integrating data with highly enabled technologies in the field of medical, biomedical, and healthcare. The availability of data at the central location of any Medical or healthcare organization would primarily serve the major concern of data availability with security. At the same time, the data is being treated in terms of data security and healthcare privacy as the key to improving issues related to the same and also to gain insights and lower the costs. This paper aims to present the digital healthcare and privacy that applies to the healthcare industry and also to discuss the advancements that are being implemented in digital health, the challenges they face with the data while shifting it, and moreover concerned with data breaches and privacy. The paper includes the detailed findings of the technology being used to store data that is called cloud computing. It allows accessing a lot of data with easier handling techniques and lets consumer use their files without downloading them. This makes the management easier, and it needs less maintenance and saves costs. Primarily the concern is over data privacy and security, which is maintained as per government rules and regulations. Additionally, the implementation of the health insurance portability and accountability act (HIPPA) stays accountable for managing data privacy and protection of the digital data.
