Real-time disease prediction with local differential privacy in Internet of Medical Things
share
The rapid development in Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) boosts the opportunity for real-time health monitoring using various data types such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG). Security issues have significantly impeded the e-healthcare system implementation. Three important challenges for privacy preserving system need to be addressed: accurate matching, privacy enhancement without compromising security, and computation efficiency. It is essential to guarantee prediction accuracy since disease diagnosis is strongly related to health and life. In this paper, we propose efficient disease prediction that guarantees security against malicious clients and honest-but-curious server using matrix encryption technique. A biomedical signal provided by the client is diagnosed such that the server does not get any information about the signal as well as the final result of the diagnosis while the client does not learn any information about the server's medical data. Thorough security analysis illustrates the disclosure resilience of the proposed scheme and the encryption algorithm satisfies local differential privacy. After result decryption performed by the client's device, performance is not degraded to perform prediction on encrypted data. The proposed scheme is efficient to implement real-time health monitoring.
