Balancing data privacy and access is necessary for healthcare analytics stakeholders, and augmentation privacy-enhancing technologies can help.
Healthcare big data analytics efforts must strike a balance between making patient data accessible to researchers and guaranteeing that it is private and protected from unauthorized individuals.
To do so, stakeholders can utilize privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs). For healthcare analytics, experts recommend combining algorithmic, architectural, and augmentation PETs to ensure data security.
This is the third and final installment of a series exploring each PET type and its potential healthcare applications, following breakdowns of algorithmic and architectural PETs.
Below, HealthITAnalytics will take a deep dive into augmentation PETs.
