Area of Science:

  • Public Health Informatics
  • Data Privacy and Security
  • Geospatial Analysis

Background:

  • Increasing use of spatial data raises location-privacy concerns.
  • Existing anonymisation methods often neglect individual data dimensions.
  • A gap exists in comprehensive, multi-attribute data anonymisation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a multidimensional point transform (MPT) for robust data anonymisation.
  • To integrate spatial data with other attributes for enhanced privacy preservation.
  • To develop a flexible algorithm adaptable to various public health data needs.

Main Methods:

  • The MPT algorithm utilizes a base population and patient subset with shared dimensions.
  • Defines perturbation distances, anonymity thresholds, and allowable dimensional changes.
  • Tested using synthesized New York county data with dimensions of sex, age, and location.

Main Results:

  • The MPT achieved a mean perturbation distance of 46 meters, with no sex or age perturbation needed.
  • Spatial mean displacement decreased with larger patient dataset sizes, averaging 5.6 meters overall.
  • The algorithm demonstrated consistent anonymisation across various dataset sizes.

Conclusions:

  • The MPT provides a customizable and adaptive solution for public health data anonymisation.
  • It serves as a valuable component within a broader framework for ethical data handling.
  • Further development is needed to integrate MPT into secure and ethical data disclosure practices.
