Real information ownership

In 2011,World Economic Forum(WEF) announced the designation of personal data as a new asset class. Among all the data classes, health related data consider as most valuable asset. However, It turns out that our personal data is not our personal asset. In the future, specific algorithms for collecting and using personal information may be developed and collected, but currently, personal information is collected within the legal system through smartphones, health apps and wearable devices with health data collection function. But the problem is that the collected personal informations are not using at necessary place, it just digitalizing without targeting and many companies in related product lines are just focused on generating profits through multiple channels by collecting data. And this is big concern for users. Studies aimed at reducing the risk of health problems with the help of mobile health APP and wearable devices are also concerned about the security of personal health information.

Mobile health technology has shown the potential to optimize the management of CVD and other chronic diseases by empowering patients through better health self-monitoring and education. Howeverm, several challenges are present when patient’s data are utilized and monitored in the healthcare settiong. A common issue is the privacy and security of health information.
