title: Security development of a pocket-sized teleradiology consultation system.
abstract: Telemedicine widens the access to sensitive data and therefore data security development is an essential part of telemedicine projects. Publicly available security evaluation methods provide a good starting point for security work. We built a mobile teleradiology consultation system that is integrated into hospital information system and systematically evaluated possible security threats that may endanger it. Based on the analysis, a security model was designed and implemented. We conclude that systematic approach to data security development facilitates the process but does not give all answers to the practical questions.
