Abstract

Chapter 26 describes the present situation of E-Health at home taking into account legal, privacy and security aspects. As a first step, some background and a general description of E-Health activities at home are presented. In order to have a general idea of the current status of this field, we analyze the general legal situation in terms of ICT for E-Health and several related issues on data mining privacy and information recovery aspects. The topics covered include the taxonomy for secondary uses of clinical data and a description of the role that controlled vocabularies play. Concerning the provision of E-Health at home, the chapter revises the current situation in the digital home evolution including topics on sensors and sanitary devices. Furthermore the challenge of digital identity at home and the differences between the domestic environment and the professional one are considered. Finally some ethical considerations under the "InfoEthics" concept and future lines of work are addressed.
