Remote monitoring of dialysis offers significant clinical benefits to patients and healthcare providers. However, the collection, transfer, and storage of large amounts of health data involved in remote monitoring require a careful consideration of privacy and data security concerns. Failure to adequately balance clinical utility with privacy has the potential to reduce patients' confidence in remote monitoring and could represent ethical and medicolegal risks for clinicians. We provide 3 case vignettes that illustrate the real-life balance of utility and privacy in patients who received peritoneal dialysis with remote monitoring. We review the principles of health data privacy, confidentiality, and security with respect to remote monitoring as a guide for clinicians. |
