Collaboration and data sharing are essential aspects of health research. Nevertheless, the number of sensitive health data breaches is increasing and there is a significant need to ensure that the privacy of patients is preserved. Health data accumulated in different repositories can be useful for statistical analysis, data mining and machine learning tasks; which results in long-term value for both healthcare professionals and patients. Preserving the privacy and ensuring the security is essential while coping with the distributed nature of health data during clinical research. Data de-identification and anonymization techniques are highly beneficial for protecting patients data against privacy risks. In this thesis, de-identification and anonymization of health data existing in HL7 FHIR repositories has been studied to ensure the privacy protection. This work presents the development of Data Privacy Tool, which includes a novel technique for de-identification of HL7 FHIR data, as well as provides a graphical user interface. The study also includes assessment of the outcomes from a privacy point of view comparing various de-identification techniques. This study has examined the existing algorithms for de-identification of health data and proposed an efficient methodology to develop the privacy preservation layer. The results of this study are analyzed through several experiments. This study aims to contribute to a research project called FAIR4Health under the scope of the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.

Understanding the perception towards using mHealth applications in practice: Physicians' perspective
Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner (2018-03-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate physicians' perceptions to use mobile health applications in practice, and to identify influencing factors to use the technology. An mHealth technology acceptance model was proposed (M-TAM), and a cross-sectional survey was implemented using structured questionnaire to collect data. Online tools were used for inviting participants (physicians) and data collection from Turkey. The data was analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation...
ORganizational adoption of mobile communication technologies
Arpaci, Ibrahim; Yardimci, Yasemin; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Türetken, Özgür (null; 2012-01-01)
This study aims to identify important adoption factors for mobile communication technologies in private sector organizations. Grounded in the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Porter's Competitive Forces Model and the Technology-Organization-Environment Framework, we develop an integrated model to study the determinants of organizational adoption of mobile communication technologies. Data will be collected from middle and senior managers using a mixed-method approach. Identification of the organizational adop...
An integrated approach to breast diseases and breast cancer registry and research: BDRS as a web-based multi-institutional model
Kocgil, Oya Deniz; Baykal, Nazife (2007-10-01)
Accurate, complete, and timely health data sources are essential for progress in health care. Registry and research systems are foundations for conducting clinical and epidemiological research. Developing countries lack these systems due to the scarcity of the resources allocated for health information systems. In this study, we provide an integrated model for Turkey in order to optimize the utilization of resources. The Breast Diseases Registry system (BDRS) is implemented as an integrated disease-specific...
IoT-Based Real-Time updating multi-layered learning system applied for a special care context during COVID-19
Erişen, Serdar (2022-12-01)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for increased research, this study aimed to develop a real-time learning system to provide infection control for residential special care contexts and in doing so, explored different crowdsourcing technologies, spatial usages, and data processing methods within the scope of smart health-care systems and environments. Experiments were conducted in the selected special care indoor environment, which was fitted with sensors and Internet of Things devices, from ...
A Data Transformation Methodology to Create Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable Health Data: Software Design, Development, and Evaluation Study
Sınacı, Ali Anıl; Gencturk, Mert; Teoman, Huseyin Alper; Laleci Erturkmen, Gokce Banu; Alvarez-Romero, Celia; Martinez-Garcia, Alicia; Poblador-Plou, Beatriz; Carmona-Pírez, Jonás; Löbe, Matthias; Parra-Calderon, Carlos Luis (2023-03-08)
BACKGROUND: Sharing health data is challenging because of several technical, ethical, and regulatory issues. The Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) guiding principles have been conceptualized to enable data interoperability. Many studies provide implementation guidelines, assessment metrics, and software to achieve FAIR-compliant data, especially for health data sets. Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a health data content modeling and exchange s...
