How can you use data in a way that protects individual privacy but still provides useful and meaningful analytics? With this practical book, data architects and engineers will learn how to establish and integrate secure, repeatable anonymization processes into their data flows and analytics in a sustainable manner.Luk Arbuckle and Khaled El Emam from Privacy Analytics explore end-to-end solutions for anonymizing device and IoT data, based on collection models and use cases that address real business needs. These examples come from some of the most demanding data environments, such as healthcare, using approaches that have withstood the test of time.Create anonymization solutions diverse enough to cover a spectrum of use casesMatch your solutions to the data you use, the people you share it with, and your analysis goalsBuild anonymization pipelines around various data collection models to cover different business needsGenerate an anonymized version of original data or use an analytics platform to generate anonymized outputsExamine the ethical issues around the use of anonymized data

Updated as of August 2014, this practical book will demonstrate proven methods for anonymizing health data to help your organization share meaningful datasets, without exposing patient identity. Leading experts Khaled El Emam and Luk Arbuckle walk you through a risk-based methodology, using case studies from their efforts to de-identify hundreds of datasets.Clinical data is valuable for research and other types of analytics, but making it anonymous without compromising data quality is tricky. This book demonstrates techniques for handling different data types, based on the authors experiences with a maternal-child registry, inpatient discharge abstracts, health insurance claims, electronic medical record databases, and the World Trade Center disaster registry, among others.Understand different methods for working with cross-sectional and longitudinal datasetsAssess the risk of adversaries who attempt to re-identify patients in anonymized datasetsReduce the size and complexity of massive datasets without losing key information or jeopardizing privacyUse methods to anonymize unstructured free-form text dataMinimize the risks inherent in geospatial data, without omitting critical location-based health informationLook at ways to anonymize coding information in health dataLearn the challenge of anonymously linking related datasets
