Data privacy preservation in telemedicine: the PAIRSE project

The preservation of medical data privacy and confidentiality is a major challenge in eHealth systems and applications. A technological solution based on advanced information and communication systems architectures is needed in order to retrieve and exchange the patient's data in a secure and reliable manner. In this paper, we introduce the project PAIRSE, Preserving Privacy in Peer to Peer (P2P) environments, which proposes an original web service oriented framework preserving the privacy and confidentiality of shared or exchanged medical data.
