UBITECH participates in the “Collaborative European Research Conference” (CERC 2016), which is held in Blackrock Castle Cork on the 23rd of September 2016, constituting the result of a long standing research collaboration between Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) and the Hochschule Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, with a research paper introducing an approach for the anonymization of sensitive clinical and genetic data based on data cubes structures. In particular, in this paper, Mr. Ntalaperas presents a methodology for transforming data corresponding to patient clinical and genetic data to an equivalent data set that contains the informational content of the original data set regarding the medical data, but from which all information regarding personal data has been filtered out. The methodology builds upon the data cubes technologies combined with cell-suppression and perturbation techniques that ensure that the produced data cube cannot be reversed engineered, while also retaining the same statistical characteristics as the original data set.
