Provenance and Dynamic Consents for the Management of Medical Data

Medical data describe patient health information, both in healthy and disease conditions. In any case, health institutions need to ask for patient consent in order to provide their services. Patients usually give consent on a one-time basis, for a specific usage. Afterwards, if medical data usage is research, original patient consent does not apply and further consents should be required. On the other hand, provenance of medical data to verify the origin of health procedures is desirable, as digital health is increasing. We propose HIPAMS modular architecture to provide both provenance and dynamic consents for medical data as described in this paper.
