Abstract

Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things have transformed the healthcare landscape in the digital age by improving quality of care and increasing operational efficiency. However, these technologies also entail significant employee data privacy and security risks. The current paper critically explores how the existing legislative measures successfully secure employees' data in the context of such technologies. In particular, a doctrinal research method was adopted to investigate the state of the law in the field and to identify the gaps and weaknesses. The results indicate that the existing rules, namely, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and Digital Economy Act 2017 are insufficient to protect employee data ownership and access and ensure informed employee consent. In response, the current paper suggests reforming the laws to maintain their effectiveness in the face of rapidly developing technologies.
