在一个准备不足、资源不足的数字心理健康系统中，将健康和个人数据与Aadhaar联系起来，给寻求心理健康护理的个人带来了重大的隐私风险。Aadhaar是一种生物识别系统，可以为所有印度居民提供唯一的身份号码。我们讨论了由于这些新兴的数字健康技术在保护精神健康数据隐私方面的挑战。在Aadhaar系统下，存储在中央数据库中的生物统计和人口统计数据可能对患有潜在污名化疾病(如精神健康障碍)的个人的数据隐私构成重大威胁。人工智能在数字解决方案(包括健康干预)中的新兴使用可能会使这种情况进一步复杂化。在心理健康研究和临床实践中，人工智能系统的开发经常存在患者排斥现象。基于全球数据保护条例和其他数据隐私法规，本文为心理健康政策制定者、专业人员、技术人员和相关卫生系统利益相关者提供了保护个人数据隐私的指导方针。
In an underprepared and under-resourced digital mental health system, the linkage of health and personal data with Aadhaar, a biometric system that provides a unique identification number to all Indian residents, poses significant privacy risks to individuals seeking mental health care. We discuss the challenges in protecting mental health data privacy due to these emerging digital health technologies. Under the Aadhaar system, biometric and demographic data stored in a central database can pose a significant threat to the data privacy of individuals with potentially stigmatizing conditions such as mental health disorders. The emerging use of artificial intelligence in digital solutions (including health interventions) can further complicate this situation. There is often patient exclusion in the development of artificial intelligence systems in mental health research and clinical practice. Based on Global Data Protection Regulation and other data privacy regulations, this article provides guidelines for mental health policy makers, professionals, technologists, and related health system stakeholders to protect the individual’s data privacy.
