Abstract

Mobile health apps are a digital era revolution, facilitating direct patient-physician communication, lab and test orders, and medication refills. Despite these benefits, security and privacy issues arise due to handling sensitive data. This paper assesses the security and privacy of Saudi Arabian mobile healthcare apps, gauging compliance with the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). Results highlight varied PDPL compliance, underscoring the imperative for enhanced security measures in the digital healthcare landscape.
