    Area of Science:

    • Medical research methodologies
    • Health informatics
    • Bioethics

    Context:

    • Advancements in medical research introduce novel technologies and methodologies.
    • These innovations present significant challenges to data protection (DP) and patient privacy rights.
    • Existing legal frameworks, particularly in Switzerland, are still evolving to address these complexities.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the impact of new medical research methodologies on data protection and privacy.
    • To examine the legal challenges concerning the protection of medical secrets and patient data.
    • To explore the balance between DP requirements and the needs of medical research.

    Summary:

    • The study highlights how emerging technologies in medical research create substantial data protection and privacy issues.

  • Legal challenges primarily concern the criminal protection of medical secrets, with DP laws extending to all information processing stages.
  • In Switzerland, constitutional law guides the consideration of DP requirements in research and the potential for less restrictive DP measures for research.

    • Impact:

    • Recommends prioritizing research with fully anonymized data to uphold patient privacy.
    • When anonymization is not feasible, emphasizes the constitutional principle of balancing interests.
    • Advocates for formal patient consent or alternative safeguards like external research project oversight and stringent security measures.
