Privacy is health

This paper aims to produce a preliminary general analysis of data protection regulations related to the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in medical care, indistinctly known as e-health or cyber-medicine.

In this sense, the intention is to provide an initial compilation of the existing norms and regulatory projects on e-health, in order to describe some of the main private and public initiatives on the subject and to single out problems and aspects of interest that may serve as a starting point for a more in-depth study.
