- Abstract: An increased adoption of mobile health (mHealth) and ubiquitous health
(uHealth) systems empower users with handheld devices and embedded sensors for
a broad range of healthcare services. However, m/uHealth systems face
significant challenges related to data security and privacy that must be
addressed to increase the pervasiveness of such systems. This study aims to
systematically identify, classify, compare, and evaluate state-of-the-art on
security and privacy of m/uHealth systems. We conducted a systematic mapping
study (SMS) based on 365 qualitatively selected studies to (i) classify the
types, frequency, and demography of published research and (ii) synthesize and
categorize research themes, (iii) recurring challenges, (iv) prominent
solutions (i.e., research outcomes) and their (v) reported evaluations (i.e.,
practical validations). Results suggest that the existing research on security
and privacy of m/uHealth systems primarily focuses on select group of control
families (compliant with NIST800-53), protection of systems and information,
access control, authentication, individual participation, and privacy
authorisation. In contrast, areas of data governance, security and privacy
policies, and program management are under-represented, although these are
critical to most of the organizations that employ m/uHealth systems. Most
research proposes new solutions with limited validation, reflecting a lack of
evaluation of security and privacy of m/uHealth in the real world. Empirical
research, development, and validation of m/uHealth security and privacy is
still incipient, which may discourage practitioners from readily adopting
solutions from the literature. This SMS facilitates knowledge transfer,
enabling researchers and practitioners to engineer security and privacy for
emerging and next generation of m/uHealth systems.
