Research information:
Khaled El Emam heads the Electronic Health Information Laboratory (EHIL) and has a research program devoted to facilitating the sharing of health information for secondary purposes while protecting the privacy of patients. In his lab, they develop technology to facilitate health data-sharing, including de-identification methods and secure computation methods to allow surveillance or analysis without compromising privacy. The different methods are suitable under different circumstances and constraints, from individual-level data release and on-going surveillance to interactive remote analysis.
Dr. El Emam’s research spans theoretical work (which consists of developing mathematical models and metrics of re-identification risk), empirical work (evaluations of our models and metrics through simulations and controlled studies), applied work (evaluations on large data sets), and knowledge translation (building software tools, instruments, and education).

My main field of interests are in the role of law in determining how people experience health care systems. I am an expert on the Canada Health Act, public vs. private insurance, the right to health and how we make decisions about what health care is publicly funded or not. I am also an expert on comparative health care systems: how Canada’s health care systems performs relative to others. I have also written, for example, on how to implement pharmacare. More recently my work has expanded to look at issues of regulating quality, safety and privacy issues of new digital health and AI health innovations.
