Image Steganography-Based Preservation of Patient Data Confidentiality in Healthcare Systems: A Survey

Abstract

In the modern time marked by extensive digital advancement, there has been a marked increase in patient information exchanges across multiple channels in the healthcare industry. However, increased information exchanges have created extensive fears about patient information security and secrecy. The current research presents a thorough review of steganography as a technique for enhancing information secrecy in healthcare surveillance systems. Steganography is a technique in which information is embedded in pictures,

Functions serve as a novel method to ensure patient information is available only to entitled parties. The goal in this research is to consider various algorithms according to their computational complexity, solidity, and efficiency. In addition, we discuss the related ethical implications for steganography application in healthcare information, specifically in patient anonymity and information integrity preservation. From examining different research works and cases in instances, this research endeavors to provide insights for steganography application for secure information handling in healthcare surveillance systems while ensuring secrecy.
