Telemedicine & Data Privacy: Legal Gaps in Protecting Patient Confidentiality in India

Author(s) Jyotsna Singh
Country India
Abstract Telemedicine has evolved as a viable method to improve healthcare accessibility and decrease expenses, especially in geographically varied nations such as India. The rapid digitalization of healthcare has generated considerable worries regarding data security and privacy. This research paper analyses the regulatory framework regulating telemedicine in India and the related data security threats. Essential rules encompass the I.T. Act 2000, SPDI Rules 2011, NMC Act 2020, and Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020. These seek to provide legal frameworks for telemedicine operations and tackle data privacy concerns. The document emphasizes the significance of patient consent, data confidentiality, and cybersecurity protocols in telemedicine. Although current rules establish a basis, there is an urgent want for thorough legislation specifically designed to address the distinct issues of telemedicine. The forthcoming Personal Data Protection Bill is anticipated to enhance data privacy regulations. Nevertheless, supplementary procedures are necessary to govern data encryption, ensure secure storage, and safeguard against cyber attacks. The study asserts that a coordinated strategy comprising policy-makers, healthcare providers, technology firms, and legal specialists is essential for tackling data security issues in telemedicine. Regular audits and evaluations must be required to guarantee adherence to data security requirements. With the expansion of telemedicine in India, stringent data security and privacy protocols will be crucial to establish patient confidence, stimulate innovation, and maximize the promise of digital healthcare in the nation.
