Abstract

The integration of medical informatics with e-health systems has revolutionized healthcare delivery, enhancing patient care, treatment outcomes, and operational efficiency. However, this convergence brings forward significant concerns related to data privacy and security. As e-health systems evolve, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive medical data is paramount. This article presents a multidisciplinary perspective on e-health systems, focusing on the challenges and solutions related to data privacy. We explore the role of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Blockchain in enhancing data security within healthcare systems. Additionally, the importance of regulatory frameworks and ethical considerations in managing health data privacy is discussed. The study aims to provide comprehensive insights into the ongoing advancements and practices in e-health systems to foster secure and privacy-compliant medical informatics practices.
