Preserving The Safety And Confidentiality Of Data Mining Information In Health Care: A literature review

Daily, massive volume of data are produced due to the internet of things' rapid development, which has now permeated the healthcare industry. Recent advances in data mining have spawned a new field of a study dubbed privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM). PPDM technique or approach enables the extraction of actionable insight from enormous volume of data while safeguarding the privacy of individual information and benefiting the entire society Medical research has taken a new course as a result of data mining with healthcare data to detect diseases earlier and improve patient care. Data integration necessitates the sharing of sensitive patient information. However, substantial privacy issues are raised in connection with the storage and transmission of potentially sensitive information. Disclosing sensitive information infringes on patients' privacy. This paper aims to conduct a review of related work on privacy-preserving mechanisms, data protection regulations, and mitigating tactics. The review concluded that no single strategy outperforms all others. Hence, future research should focus on adequate techniques for privacy solutions in the age of massive medical data and the standardization of evaluation standards.
