Systematic review and meta-analysis for a Global Patient co-Owned Cloud (GPOC)

Area of Science:

• Health Informatics
• Cloud Computing
• Data Security

Background:

• The increasing global adoption of cloud-based personal health records necessitates standardized frameworks.
• The Global Patient co-Owned Cloud (GPOC) concept offers a decentralized approach to managing personal health data.

Approach:

• A systematic review and meta-analysis, registered with PROSPERO and guided by PRISMA standards.
• Analysis of twelve key parameters including performance, cryptography, efficiency (runtimes, key generation), security (access, encryption), and cost (gas).

Key Points:

• Significant heterogeneity exists within current cloud-based personal health record systems.
• Data security, privacy, and cost-efficiency are critical factors influencing adoption.
• Performance metrics and cryptographic methods vary widely across existing solutions.

Conclusions:

• A consensus on standards for cloud-based personal health records is crucial for GPOC development.
• Establishing a GPOC sandbox model can facilitate further research and platform construction.
• GPOCs have the potential to accelerate the development and global deployment of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
