Format description: Best practice sharing + multi-stakeholder discussion from multiple perspectives, with classroom seat setting.
What are/should be the rights and responsibilities for individuals in determining the use of their personal data, and what right do individuals have to determine their own digital identity? What kinds of action or responsibilities Internet healthcare service providers could take to perfect/perform its user data protection policy? How about government, user protection organization’s roles? What kind of data could be access to and by whom, with patient’s consent or relevant policy permission?
In the reality, some Internet healthcare platforms are imperfectly constructed and there are many flaws in operation, such as the lack or imperfection of privacy agreements or privacy clauses, the mandatory use of privacy data, and the lack of restrictions on the sharing and transfer of privacy data. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the services and environment of the Internet healthcare industry and enhance personal data protection through multi-approaches, such as putting forward legislation, strengthening technological innovation, advocating platform/industry self-discipline, and raising user’s awareness/education.

Description:
As Internet healthcare industry gradually develops towards market-oriented scale and refined trend, healthcare data breaks the isolation status in traditional healthcare industry, and its scope and extent of use continue to expand and deepen. However, it also accompanies with the risk of the personal data leakage. Internet healthcare platform/service refers to the websites and mobile applications providing online medical-related services based on Internet technology, such as consultation, registration, medicine, physical examination, healthcare, disease management and medical academic. However, some patients’ personal data was under the risk of leakage or directly exposed due to the imperfectly construction of Internet healthcare platforms/services.

Through multi-stakeholder’ discussion and best practices share, it is expected that personal healthcare data protection policy and implementation advice could be provided and to achieve the related goals of SDGs.

Relevance to Internet Governance: Healthcare data breaks the isolation status in traditional healthcare industry, and its scope and extent of use continue to expand and deepen. How to enhance personal data protection in Internet healthcare service needs joint efforts by multi-stakeholders from perspective of legislation, technology, governance, platform self-discipline and so on.
Relevance to Theme: In the cyberspace, private information on the Internet healthcare platform constantly derived. While the doctors require the health information in need to provide personalized healthcare services to patients, the users can also obtain relevant information by browsing others’ diagnosis and treatment experience. Therefore, the privacy on the Internet healthcare platform includes but not limited to the personal healthcare information of users that identifies specific individuals in real life, the shared healthcare information and the data mining information of commercial value. For patients, personal healthcare data belongs to sensitive information, requiring strict privacy and security needs in storage, usage and sharing.
