Networking Issues for Security and Privacy in Mobile Health Apps

It is highly important to give social care on the personal information that is collected by mobile health applications. There has been a rise in the mobile applications which are applied in almost all the departments and this is as a result of the high technological advancement globally. The developers of these applications need to be somehow reluctant in maintaining the privacy of information collected through the applications because many release insecure apps. The aim of this report is to analyze the status of privacy and security in relation to mobile health. The analysis or the review has been done through academic literature review, a study of the laws which regulate mobile health in the EU and USA. Also, lastly, giving a recommendation for the mobile application developers, on how to maintain privacy and security. As a result, other certifications and standards will be proposed for app developers and another guide for the researchers and developers as well.
