Ha salido publicado el capítulo "Proposal for Interactive Anonymization of Electronic Medical Records" del cual soy co-autor en el libro Information Systems and Technologies for Enhancing Health and Social Care.
Abstract: One of the most
important inputs for medical research is the information registered in
electronic medical records. This information typically contains
sensitive data that must be preserved in order to be used for research
or educational purposes, and protected depending on the regulations of
each country and institution. In order to assure confidentiality of
data, different techniques can be used to remove basic identifiers (e.g.
names, IDs); however, these techniques can be easily bypassed by
attackers who know the information that can act as pseudo-identifiers of
patients (e.g. birthdates, gender). Although these pseudo-identifiers
can also be removed, the information they contain is valuable for
medical research. To face this problem, different methods that allow
minimizing the risk of sharing confidential information have been
proposed. The interactive use of anonymization algorithms for electronic
medical records is the main contribution of this chapter, dubbed
AnonymousData.co: a proposal for anonymization of electronic health
records.
