Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Through mobile applications, patients and health professionals are able to access and monitor health data. But even with user-adaptive systems, which can adjust interface content according to individual’s needs and context (e.g., physical location), data privacy can be at risk, as these techniques do not aim to protect them or even identify the presence of vulnerabilities. The main goal of this paper is to test with end-users the adaptive visualization techniques, together with the context where they are used, to understand how these may influence users’ security perception, and decide which techniques can be applied to improve security and privacy of visualized data. An online survey was applied to test two different use-cases and contexts, where traditional access and access using visualization techniques are compared in terms of security characteristics. Preliminary results with 27 participants show that when accessing personal data from a patients’ perspective, the context has higher influence in the perception of confidentiality (authorized access) and integrity (authorized modification) of visualized data while for a health professional’s perspective, independently of the context, the visualization techniques are the ones that seem to primarily influence participants’ choices for those security characteristics. For availability (data available to authorized users whenever necessary), both visualization techniques and context have little, or no influence, in the participants’ choice.

Mobile Apps for People with Dementia: Are They Compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

Topics: ICT, Ageing and Disability; e-Health; eHealth Applications

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Mobile apps have the potential to improve the overall patients and caregivers’ quality of life and, particularly, of those with dementia. The ability to stimulate cognitive functions, keep the brain active and helping people to be as independent as possible in their daily lives are considered highly valued characteristics. But despite those advantages, there is a lack of security standards and guidelines focused on mobile apps and the general sense is that those provide low or no privacy/security and commonly do not comply with current regulations. We analysed eighteen apps with the ability to stimulate cognitive functions for people with dementia to verify if they were GDPR compliant. Results show that most analysed apps (78%) do not provide any information regarding how personal data are processed, and if they do, this is not clear. Also, users’ consent to allow that processing is rarely sought (11%). In conclusion, GDPR mandated requirements are still not implemented in most of the analysed mental health apps to ensure privacy and security in the interactions between users and mobile apps. This work intends to bring awareness to this issue to both researchers and developers, especially in the area of healthcare and mental health.

Visual Schedule: A Mobile Application for Autistic Children - Preliminary Study

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Children with autism often experience considerable challenges and one of them is the difficulty in understanding, structuring and predicting their daily life activities and routines. Several methodologies have been studied and implemented to help autistic children with these routine activities and tasks, and one of those methods is the use of visual schedules. For this, mobile apps and related technology have been considered as an excellent tool in supporting autistic children’s development. But despite the technological resources and the variety of mobile apps available today, the authors could not find such needed resources available for the Portuguese speaking autistic children population, especially in relation to visual schedules/routines, which are considered very important for the child’s development. Therefore, based on the literature and in some apps available in other countries for autistic children, the authors propose a set of mock-ups of a visual schedule application for smartphone. The visual mock-ups represent the idea of the app that we intend to implement in a near future to be used by Portuguese autistic children aged between 4 to 10 years old to support them in their daily routine and the performance of related tasks.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Technology like computers and especially mobile devices have changed the way people see and interact with the world. Many of our everyday tasks are only completed using technology supported by different platforms (desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones) so the visualization of content is presented differently depending on the used device and type of information requested. However, even with user-adaptive systems, which can adjust interface content according to individual’s needs and context, data privacy can be at risk, as these techniques do not aim to protect them or even identify the presence of vulnerabilities. The main goal of this paper is to analyse what techniques are available to adapt visualization to users’ needs and context of each interaction with different devices and analyse which can be applied to improve security and privacy of visualized data. Two use-cases are presented to compare traditional access and access using visualization techniques to improve security and mitigate privacy vulnerabilities of healthcare data. More research is needed to define and validate security visualization techniques integrated into human mobile interactions, to better provide for the security and privacy of sensitive data.
