Data Anonymization, Clinical Pipelines, Ethical Standards, Healthcare Analytics, Privacy Preservation, Regulatory ComplianceAbstract
The growing reliance on data-driven healthcare analytics has highlighted the importance of anonymization techniques to protect patient privacy. This paper explores advanced frameworks for data anonymization in clinical pipelines, addressing ethical challenges and regulatory compliance. A multi-layered anonymization strategy is recommended to ensure data usability while meeting stringent legal and ethical standards.
