Balancing security & sharing of fitness trackers' data

Use of wearable fitness trackers is progressively increasing over the world. The raw information from these gadgets on processing produces Electronic Health Record (EHR). It has great importance since it enhances the scope of medicinal services with financially savvy nature. Despite this fact, the human health architecture are tested essentially by security and ownership of information. Securing EHR with an encoded secret key is a plausible choice. EHRs have their potential advantages in the Evidence Based Medicine (EBM). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the various ethical issues arising during use of the EHRs of fitness trackers and their possible solutions by strengthening security with gaining public trust on EHR based approach. This paper also proposes a filter system that balances the security & sharing of health data.
