Recent Advanced in Healthcare Data Privacy Techniques

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the amount of healthcare data generated by patients, healthcare providers, and medical researchers. This data is often sensitive and contains personally identifiable information, making it critical to protect patient privacy while still enabling the sharing of data for research and healthcare purposes. In this chapter, we review recent advances in healthcare data privacy techniques, the privacy breaches from the unique identification of an individual or single/multiple attributes disclosure to the behavioral advertising privacy breaches. We will discuss the strengths and limitations of each approach and provide examples of how they have been applied in healthcare contexts. We also examine the ethical and legal considerations surrounding healthcare data privacy and the challenges of implementing these techniques in practice. Finally, we explore future directions for healthcare data privacy research.
