Security And Privacy Of Medical Data:Challenges For Next-Generation Patient-Centric Healthcare Systems

We describe the recently-started EU H2020 Serums: Securing Medical Data in Smart Patient-Centric Healthcare Systems project that aims to develop novel techniques for safe and secure collection, storage, exchange and analysis of medical data, allowing the patients of the next-generation smart healthcare centers to get the best possible treatment while respecting privacy and ownership of their sensitive personal data. Our goal is to significantly enhance trust in the new medical systems. We outline the techniques that will be extended/developed over the course of the project and describe the use cases that will be used to verify the effectiveness of these technologies in practice.
