Regulatory Privacy Protection for Biomedical Cloud Computing

Abstract

This article provides background information on biomedical cloud computing. It examines the privacy concerns that arise from the use of biomedical cloud computing services and then surveys the current state of regulatory privacy safeguards for patients and consumers of these services both in the U.S and abroad. Finally, it identifies opportunities for legal and technological mechanisms to be implemented or reinforced so that patients and consumers are not forced to lose control of their information when they use biomedical cloud computing services.
