ESR: Privacy and biometrics in health and activity tracking
Objectives:
The Marie Curie fellow researcher will investigate the fitness of data protection concepts for the risks posed, e.g. of sensor-rich health and activity trackers, and review both technical and legal privacy preserving measures. The research should also aim to make new suggestions for the legal protection of these personal data, mostly collected by multiple parties and stored in cloud solutions, and for such further use, such as in clinical trial environments.
