In this episode of Forskningspodden, we explore the hidden privacy risks for users of digital health technologies—like mobile health apps and health information systems—that are transforming healthcare. While these tools offer huge benefits, they also open the door to serious privacy and security risks that could result in sensitive information misuse, unauthorized access to data breaches
In this episode, our guest, Phd Samuel Wairimu, breaks down the privacy challenges posed by applications like the COVID-19 contact tracing apps, the impact of cyberwar on patient privacy, and how privacy risks can be better assessed. Samuel’s research highlights real-world privacy harms and offers new ways for healthcare professionals to protect patient data. If you care about the future of digital healthcare and your privacy, you won’t want to miss this episode!
