Systematic review and meta-analysis for a Global Patient co-Owned Cloud (GPOC).

Abstract

Cloud-based personal health records increase globally. The GPOC series introduces the concept of a Global Patient co-Owned Cloud (GPOC) of personal health records. Here, we present the GPOC series' Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) registered and Preferred Reporting Items Systematic and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)-guided systematic review and meta-analysis. It examines cloud-based personal health records and factors such as data security, efficiency, privacy and cost-based measures. It is a meta-analysis of twelve relevant axes encompassing performance, cryptography and parameters based on efficiency (runtimes, key generation times), security (access policies, encryption, decryption) and cost (gas). This aims to generate a basis for further research, a GPOC sandbox model, and a possible construction of a global platform. This area lacks standard and shows marked heterogeneity. A consensus within this field would be beneficial to the development of a GPOC. A GPOC could spark the development and global dissemination of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
