Published purpose

The proposed project will examine the management of sensitive data collected by a wearable device, stored on a smartphone and transmitted to a cloud platform, taking a representative ecosystem as a use case: an Apple Watch connected to an iPhone via Apple’s HealthKit data aggregation platform. The aim is to assess the technical mechanisms in place to ensure the confidentiality of sensitive information. The results of this analysis will help identify the risks and best practices involved in managing sensitive data in these technological ecosystems.
