Enabling Privacy Policies for mHealth Studies

摘要: Pervasive sensing has enabled continuous monitoring of user physiological state through mobile and wearable devices, allowing for large scale studies to be conducted, such as those found in mHealth. However, current mHealth are limited their ability users express privacy preferences on the data they share across multiple entities involved a research study. In this work, we present mPolicy, policy language study participants context-aware data-handling policies needed addition, provide privacy-adaptive creation mechanism byproduct (such motion inferences). Lastly, create software library called privLib implementing parsing, enforcement, mPolicy. We evaluate latency overhead these operations, discuss future improvements scaling realistic scenarios.
