Adapt-Lite: Privacy-Aware, Secure, And Efficient Mhealth Sensing, Shrirang Mare, Jacob Sorber, Minho Shin, Cory Cornelius, David Kotz
Dartmouth Scholarship
As healthcare in many countries faces an aging population and rising costs, mobile sensing technologies promise a new opportunity. Using mobile health (mHealth) sensing, which uses medical sensors to collect data about the patients, and mobile phones to act as a gateway between sensors and electronic health record systems, caregivers can continuously monitor the patients and deliver better care. Although some work on mHealth sensing has addressed security, achieving strong security and privacy for low-power sensors remains a challenge. \par We make three contributions. First, we propose Adapt-lite, a set of two techniques that can be applied to existing wireless …

Adaptive Security And Privacy For Mhealth Sensing, Shrirang Mare, Jacob Sorber, Minho Shin, Cory Cornelius, David Kotz
Dartmouth Scholarship
As healthcare in many countries faces an aging population and rising costs, mobile Health (mHealth) sensing technologies promise a new opportunity. However, the privacy concerns associated with mHealth sensing are a limiting factor for their widespread adoption. The use of wireless body area networks pose a particular challenge. Although there exist protocols that provide a secure and private communication channel between two devices, the large transmission overhead associated with these protocols limit their application to low-power mHealth sensing devices. We propose an adaptive security model that enables use of privacy-preserving protocols in low-power mHealth sensing by reducing the network overhead …
Exposing Privacy Concerns In Mhealth, Aarathi Prasad, Jacob Sorber, Timothy Stablein, Denise Anthony, David Kotz
Exposing Privacy Concerns In Mhealth, Aarathi Prasad, Jacob Sorber, Timothy Stablein, Denise Anthony, David Kotz
Dartmouth Scholarship
We conducted several exploratory focus groups to understand what privacy concerns Patients might have with the collection, storage and sharing of their personal health information, when using mHealth devices. We found that Patients want control over their health information, and we noticed privacy trends that were particular to Patients in the same age group and with similar health experiences.
A Threat Taxonomy For Mhealth Privacy, David Kotz
A Threat Taxonomy For Mhealth Privacy, David Kotz
Dartmouth Scholarship
Networked mobile devices have great potential to enable individuals (and their physicians) to better monitor their health and to manage medical conditions. In this paper, we examine the privacy-related threats to these so-called \emphmHealth\/ technologies. We develop a taxonomy of the privacy-related threats, and discuss some of the technologies that could support privacy-sensitive mHealth systems. We conclude with a brief summary of research challenges.
