Medical prediagnosis systems are now available online to give users quick and preliminary diagnosis information. The need for such a system has become particularly evident in areas with insufficient health professionals. Due to the privacy of patient medical information and the sensitivity of cloud diagnosis models, it is necessary to protect the security of data, models, and communications. These existing diagnosis systems can hardly provide a satisfied diagnosis accuracy while ensuring comprehensive security and high efficiency. In order to solve these problems, we proposed Relief- k minimum Wasserstein distance (Relief- k MW) classification method, which combined data encryption and BLS signature to form a privacy-preserving efficient online multiparty interactive medical prediagnostic scheme (OMPD). Theoretical analysis shows our OMPD effectively provides high-precision prediagnosis services. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that OMPD not only greatly improves the diagnostic accuracy but also reduces the computational and communication overhead.

BACKGROUND Granular information sharing studies rarely use actual patient electronic health record (EHR) information. In a previous study, behavioral health patients categorized their own EHR data into sensitive categories (e.g. mental health) and chose which care team members (e.g. pharmacists) should have access to those records. In this study, behavioral health professionals are provided access to the outcomes of a previous patient study to better understand the perspectives of health professionals on patient-controlled granular information sharing. OBJECTIVE Assess behavioral health professionals’: (1) perspectives on understanding and opinions about granular information sharing; (2) accuracy in assessing redacted medical information; (3) reactions to patient rationale for health data categorization, assignment of sensitivity, and sharing choices; and (4) recommendations on how to improve the process of granular health information sharing. METHODS Four two-hour focus groups and a pre- and post-survey were conducted at two integrated health facilities. During the focus groups, outcomes from a previous study on patients’ medical record sharing choices were shared. Thematic analysis and descriptive statistical analyses were conducted. RESULTS Twenty-eight professionals were initially unaware of or provided incorrect definitions of granular information sharing (56.0%). After having access to outcomes from a previous patient study, professionals increased their mixed perspectives (21.4% to 37.1%) on granular information sharing. A majority (81.3%) identified that key medical data had been redacted from the study case. Many (66.1%) stated they did not understand patient rationale for categorization or medical sharing preferences. Finally, participants recommended that a variety of educational approaches be incorporated to inform patients about granular information and health record sharing processes. CONCLUSIONS This study provides detailed insights from behavioral health professionals on patient-controlled granular information sharing. Health professionals accurately identified information gaps resulting from patient-directed data redaction, improved in their overall concept comprehension, underscored the fine line between patient safety and patient rights, and expressed a commitment to help patients appreciate the risks and benefits associated with granular information sharing. Outcomes will inform the development, deployment and evaluation of an electronic consent tool for granular health data sharing.

Freeze Thaw

It’s really necessary to determine freeze-thaw resistance of concrete faster and correctly.The offered method is based on measurement of long strength by nondestructive method, based onacoustic issue. Also dilatometer is used. During this research, the theoretical analysis of concrete'sspecimen dependence on freeze-thaw resistance and energy, which is emitted by a specimen duringdestruction, has been carried out. Freeze-thaw resistance of a specimen is calculated as themathematical relation of these energies. Correctness of the offered method is proved byexperiments. The offered method is characterized by small labor input, high efficiency and a wideapplication scope, but special laboratory equipment is needed.

Privacy Constraints

The use of private cars has enhanced the comfort of travel of individuals, but has proven to be a challenge for parking in congested downtown areas and metropolitans. This hike in the vehicle count has led to difficulty among the drivers to find a parking spot, exploiting resources and time. On the other hand, there are many idle private parking spots that remain inaccessible because of multiple reasons like unavailable owners, different open timings and so on. In order to prevent parking issues as well as to enable the use of private parking spots, smart parking applications that are easy to use by the drivers will prove to be highly effective. However, most parking lot owners and drivers face the threat of privacy which affects their willingness to participate while many others are located in a centralized location where the presence of malicious users is in plenty. In this proposed work, we have introduced a smart-parking system that is based on blockchain exhibiting qualities of privacy protection, reliability and fairness. To protect the privacy of users, vector-based encryption, bloom filters and group signatures are also insisted. This has helped us establish a more reliable smart parking system coupled with fair operation for smart contact. Experimental analysis of the real-world dataset indicates that the proposed work operates with high efficiency, establishing privacy protection, reliability and fairness.

A medical information commons (MIC) is a networked data environment utilized for research and clinical applications. At three deliberations across the U.S., we engaged 75 adults in two-day facilitated discussions on the ethical and social issues inherent to sharing data with an MIC. Deliberants made recommendations regarding opt-in consent, transparent data policies, public representation on MIC governing boards, and strict data security and privacy protection. Community engagement is critical to earning the public's trust.

e19231 Background: Nowadays, in the “era of technology”, websites, online journals and social media give access to an extraordinary amount of medical information; moreover, many patients and their families employ websites and social media searching for additional clarifications about their own malignancies and the prescribed treatments. Misleading news are often disseminated generating false expectations, exaggerated anxiety and confusion even on officially supported websites. In oncology setting, disinformation is perhaps more deleterious than in other fields, with a considerable impact on single patients as well as on families and, more in general, on Public Health. In order to promote the best interaction between the world of health and the world of communication, a table of experts was established with the aim to draft a shared document identifying strategies to overcome barriers between communication and health care as well as to propose common criteria for an effective dissemination of medical information. Methods: On the basis of the "consensus conference" method in the RAND/UCLA variant, a modified version of Delphi methodology, a literature research has been conducted with the aim to select studies related to the best practices applied to health journalism regarding oncology setting. Results: Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria, from which 72 recommendations were extracted and submitted to experts in communication and health professionals included in the technical table. After the evaluation of this panel, 57 recommendations scored more than 7 representing the selected statements shared together by communication experts and health professionals. This consensus and the drawn up shared document represent a concrete attempt to found a renewed and strategic alliance between health and communication operators in order to produce useful and reproducible indications for an effective dissemination of medical information. Conclusions: As the “American Declaration of Independence”, our “Declaration of Good Communication” has identified high-impact recommendations for the best management of patients, providing simple but fundamental concepts and recommendations about effective communication especially in oncology setting.
