ABSTRACT

This paper uses literature research, case study and comparative analysis to compare and analyze the legal protection status and problems of personal health data under different national legislations, and puts forward relevant legislative measures. The results show that countries outside the region still face challenges of innovation and supervision in the legal protection of personal information, especially personal health data. By exploring the international soft law frameworks of data protection such as GDPR and APEC Privacy Framework, as well as the legal norms, problems and opportunities of some representative countries in Europe, America and Asia in the protection of personal health data, this paper aims to improve the theoretical depth of data jurisprudence research and provides guidelines for the scientific legislation in the relevant fields in China.
