Integrating eHealth and Medical Research: The TMF Data Protection Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
Building medical research networks is an important part of eHealth. Medical research advances diagnostic and therapeutic knowledge and standards and thereby benefits the patients. On the other hand patient data and samples are among the most sensitive personal informations and must be carefully protected according to rules of ethics and professional discretion as well as national and international data protection laws. The TMF therefore developed a “generic” scheme with variants for the processing of information in networks and biobanks that respects the patients’ rights on privacy. The main methods are: separation of informational powers and responsibilities, peudonymisation, templates for the informed consent, policies, and contracts. A major revision of the scheme, taking into account the experiences from completed or ongoing implementations, is in progress.

متن کاملProtection Scheme of Power Transformer Based on Time–Frequency Analysis and KSIR-SSVM
The aim of this paper is to extend a hybrid protection plan for Power Transformer (PT) based on MRA-KSIR-SSVM. This paper offers a new scheme for protection of power transformers to distinguish internal faults from inrush currents. Some significant characteristics of differential currents in the real PT operating circumstances are extracted. In this paper, Multi Resolution Analysis (MRA) is use...
متن کاملA local measurement-based protection scheme for DER integrated DC microgrid using Bagging Tree
In recent years, DC microgrid has attracted considerable attention of the research community because of the wide usage of DC power-based appliances. However, the acceptance of DC microgrid by power utilities is still limited due to the issues associated with the development of a reliable protection scheme. The high magnitude of DC fault current, its rapid rate of rising and absence of zero cros...
