Abstract [en]

The growth, expansion, and acceleration of large networks in recent years have led to massive changes in various aspects of human life. These changes in science, technology, and business have resulted in emerging new fields such as e-government, e-learning, and e-health. Electronic Health or digital health collects and integrates health information by creating an electronic health record. Electronic health records are beneficial for all stakeholders if patient privacy and security are maintained. This research aimed to study the potential privacy and security challenges and benefits of digital healthcare in Sweden from the patients’ perspective. In this research, a qualitative analysis was performed to investigate the patients’ perspectives on the security and privacy challenges and benefits of digital healthcare. Findings show considerable benefits from patients’ views are accessibility, time efficiency, and trustworthy information. Also show patients in Sweden have not had any experiences with privacy and security threat in e-healthcare, but they are aware of the potential challenges. And regarding the importance of the personal information including the private information and all health information for them, they feel more worried about privacy and maintaining the anonymity of information.
