End-to-end security for personal telehealth.

Personal telehealth is in rapid development with innovative emerging applications like disease management. With personal telehealth people participate in their own care supported by an open distributed system with health services. This poses new end-to-end security and privacy challenges. In this paper we introduce new end-to-end security requirements and present a design for consent management in the context of the Continua Health Alliance architecture. Thus, we empower patients to control how their health information is shared and used in a personal telehealth eco-system.
