Privacy-Preserving Systems for Public Health and Disaster Response

2020
#Privacy #Public Health #Healthcare #Disaster Resilience

These projects showed that health-data utility and rigorous privacy protection can coexist in the same system, a principle that later guided my work protecting regulated healthcare data.

QUEST

During the COVID-19 pandemic, QUEST showed that an organization could turn the Wi-Fi network it already owns into a source of occupancy and exposure insight, with privacy protections engineered in so that no individual’s movements were revealed.

CareDEX

An NSF Civic Innovation Challenge project that lets senior-care facilities securely share residents’ critical care information with first responders during disasters, addressing the disproportionate risk older adults face in emergencies. CareDEX was tested in a live disaster drill at a California senior living community.
