Enabling secure and privacy-aware mobile sensing and e-health applications on everybodys smartphone

Abstract

Mobile surveillance of patients vital data is of prominent use in today's e-health applications. Given the fact that smartphones provide Internet connectivity almost anywhere and at any time, these seem to be the perfect key device for such application. In contrast to available solutions, our approach described in this paper allows using almost any smartphone for such purpose. In addition, the system enables to dynamically reconfigure the e-health infrastructure without putting the privacy and data security of monitored patients at risk.
