“…..This paper summarizes the other major aspects of current laws to
provide a snapshot of where the laws stand today and a baseline for
discussing potential reform and the adoption of new laws. Interestingly,
very few of the existing laws cover health information specifically (the ***
*United States**** being the prime exception) and fewer still make any
reference, even in terms of regulatory guidance, to mHealth.
The current application of these privacy laws to mHealth issues, therefore,
is by extension of existing, more general principles related to privacy
protection. For this reason and to provide more specific examples that can
be used to address mHealth privacy issues, this paper also offers an
overview of medical ethics and patient confidentiality codes in effect
throughout the world.
****
This paper then goes on to set forth a functional framework for addressing
privacy law issues around the globe, which adapts and is sensitive to
particular cultural, technological and institutional contexts. The main
pillars of the framework are:
****
(1) fact gathering and analysis that aim to identify the key drivers for
privacy regulation in a particular jurisdiction and the existing
environment for the development of such laws;
(2) determining scope of coverage in a thoughtful and deliberate manner
that takes into account the results of the fact-gathering stage and the
potential impact of scoping decisions on the further uptake of mHealth in a
particular jurisdiction;
(3) deciding the nature of any notice and consent requirements built into
the privacy law reflecting the cultural and t
(4) incorporating the principle of data minimization into any law as a best
practice;
(5) encouraging the right of data integrity and accessibility for data
subjects while requiring such requests to be commercially reasonable and
feasible for the entities storing data to honor;
(6) requiring the adoption of reasonable data security measures while
remaining nimble and open to new technological advances in this area;
(7) ensuring that data is protected throughout its lifecycle through
cross-border and third party transfer restrictions, while being sensitive
to the operational burdens such restrictions could place on market
participants and the consequences for the uptake of mHealth;
(8) determining the enforcement and sanctions mechanisms built into the law
to credibly encourage compliance, which also requires an honest assessment
of the jurisdiction’s enforcement resources…”****
