This article examines the privacy and security issues associated with mobile application-mediated health research, concentrating in particular on research conducted or participated in by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers. Building on other articles in this issue that examine state research laws and state data protection laws as possible sources of privacy and security protections for mobile research participants, this article focuses on the lack of application of federal standards to mobile application-mediated health research. As discussed in more detail below, the voluminous and diverse data collected by some independent scientists who use mobile applications to conduct health research may be at risk for unregulated privacy and security breaches, leading to dignitary, psychological, and economic harms for which participants have few legally enforceable rights or remedies under current federal law. Federal lawmakers may wish to consider enacting new legislation that would require otherwise unregulated health data holders to implement reasonable data privacy, security, and breach notification measures.

Data Privacy Protection

A wide range of smart mobility technologies are being deployed within urban environment. These technologies generate huge quantities of data, much of them in real-time and at a highly granular scale. Such data about mobility, transport, and citizens can be put to many beneficial uses and, if shared, for uses beyond the system and purposes for which they were generated. Jointly, these data create the evidence base to run mobility services more efficiently, effectively, and sustainably. However, generating, processing, analyzing, sharing, and storing vast amounts of actionable data also raises several concerns and challenges. For example, data privacy, data protection, and data security issues arise from the creation of smart mobility. This chapter highlights the various privacy and security concerns and harms related to the deployment and use of smart mobility technologies and initiatives, and makes suggestions for addressing apprehensions about and harms arising from data privacy, protection, and security issues.

The Cost

Cloud computing refers to the basic setup for an emerging model of service delivery, that has the advantage of decreasing the cost by sharing computing, infrastructure including storage resources. This can be combined with on-demand delivery mechanism relying on a pay-per-use model. Cloud computing offers an added level of risk because of essential services provided by it to a third party, which makes it difficult to maintain data privacy and security. Security in cloud computing is a critical aspect, which has various issues and challenges related to it. Cloud service providers/ brokers and the cloud service users should make aware of safety cloud. That is the cloud is safe enough from all kinds of the threats, so that the users do not face any problem like; loss of data or data theft. There is a possibility that, a malicious user can enters the cloud by imitating an authentic user, thus corrupt the entire cloud. It can affect many users who are sharing these types of clouds. This chapter mentions the list of parameters that disturb the security of the cloud. This also explores the cloud security issues and challenges faced by cloud service provider/brokers and cloud service users like; data, privacy, and infected application. Finally, it discusses the countermeasure for handling these issues and its challenges.

Government Data

Data warehousing is a technology architecture designed to organize disparate data sources into a single repository of information. As such, it represents a strategy for creating the architecture necessary to support the vision of e-government. Data warehousing enables a new type of “decision intelligence” by providing access to historical trend data, typically difficult to retrieve through operational database systems. Government data warehousing is complex, expensive, and often fraught with data privacy and security issues. E-government goals may be met through a successful data-warehousing project, be it in the form of a more efficient, informed government or as a result of increased public access to information. But given the substantial barriers to success, a thorough planning and investigation process is necessary.

This article focuses on state privacy, security, and data breach regulation of mobile-app mediated health research, concentrating in particular on research studies conducted or participated in by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers. Prior scholarship addressing these issues tends to focus on the lack of application of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and other sources of federal regulation. One article, however, mentions state law as a possible source of privacy and security protections for individuals in the particular context of mobile app-mediated health research. This Article builds on this prior scholarship by: (1) assessing state data protection statutes that are potentially applicable to mobile app-mediated health researchers; and (2) suggesting statutory amendments that could better protect the privacy and security of mobile health research data. As discussed in more detail below, all fifty states and the District of Columbia have potentially applicable data breach notification statutes that require the notification of data subjects of certain informational breaches in certain contexts. In addition, more than two-thirds of jurisdictions have potentially applicable data security statutes and almost one-third of jurisdictions have potentially applicable data privacy statutes. Because all jurisdictions have data breach notification statutes, these statutes will be assessed first.

The Common

This article assesses the protections provided by state research laws for participants in mobile application (mobile app) mediated health research conducted by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers. Prior scholarship in this area focuses on the lack of application of: (1) federal regulations governing research conducted or funded by one of sixteen signatory federal departments and agencies (the Common Rule); and (2) separate federal regulations promulgated by the Food and Drug Administration applicable to research conducted in anticipation of a submission to the FDA for approval of a drug or medical device. This article builds on this prior scholarship by carefully examining state research laws and suggesting ways in which these laws could be improved to better protect participants of mobile appmediated research conducted by independent scientists, citizen scientists, and patient researchers.
