# Healthcare and Mental Wellness Security Considerations
5+
6+
## Context
7+
8+
Cloud-native and blockchain-based systems are increasingly used in healthcare and mental wellness. These systems must follow strict privacy and security practices due to the sensitivity of personal health information (PHI/PII).
9+
10+
## Principles
11+
12+
- **Data minimization:** Never place PHI/PII directly on public chains or in unencrypted logs.
13+
- **Incident readiness:** Define break-glass procedures, rotation plans, and clear audit trails.
14+
- **Mental wellness risk:** Misuse or leakage of mental health data has higher ethical stakes; systems must exceed baseline privacy standards.
15+
16+
## Checklist
17+
18+
- [ ] No PHI/PII in logs, storage, or transactions.
19+
- [ ] Consent captured via VCs/DIDs with expiration + nonce.
20+
- [ ] Cloud-native deployments include encryption at rest and in transit.
21+
- [ ] Break-glass access is gated and logged.
22+
- [ ] Testing covers reentrancy, replay, and denial-of-service threats in consent flows.
