Privacy in Mobile Health Applications for Breast Cancer Patients
Privacy is a major concern for breast cancer patients. When patients use mobile health applications (mHealth apps), many sensitive data are handled by the application developers. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) arises as a solution to privacy issues. In this paper, we analyze the privacy policy of a sample of mHealth apps for breast cancer patients, developing a scale to check if GDPR is complied. Despite privacy is a key factor in the adoption of the use of mHealth apps, the low level of compliance with the GDPR of the analyzed applications was quite surprising. Thus, application developers must be concerned about this matter.
