“…To increase the AI explainability, many AI developers will also incorporate the visualization maps in an attempt to explain the rationale behind the decisions made by the DL systems. Moving forward, the adoption of novel technical methodologies involving the use of blockchain, 16 , 17 federated learning, 18 and adversarial attack 19 could facilitate cross-border AI collaboration while preserving data privacy in the respective countries.…”

“…Furthermore, strictly defining rules for communication across the network slices with omission of patient identifiers or use of anonymized identifiers to tag patients’ accounts within the hardware devices can also help manage risks 89 . Furthermore, the growing adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency solutions for practical applications provides a potential novel avenue to protect, custody, and share individual health data 90 . Many health care applications of this technology have already been reported, with health record management and bolstering security within mobile and hardware solutions being leading applications described in the literature 91 .…”

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 has further increased the urgent need for digital transformation within the health care settings, with the use of artificial intelligence/deep learning, internet of things, telecommunication network/virtual platform, and blockchain. The recent advent of metaverse, an interconnected online universe, with the synergistic combination of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality described several years ago, presents a new era of immersive and realtime experiences to enhance human-to-human social interaction and connection. In health care and ophthalmology, the creation of virtual environment with three-dimensional (3D) space and avatar, could be particularly useful in patient-fronting platforms (eg, telemedicine platforms), operational uses (eg, meeting organization), digital education (eg, simulated medical and surgical education), diagnostics, and therapeutics. On the other hand, the implementation and adoption of these emerging virtual health care technologies will require multipronged approaches to ensure interoperability with real-world virtual clinical settings, userfriendliness of the technologies and clinical efficiencies while complying to the clinical, health economics, regulatory, and cybersecurity standards. To serve the urgent need, it is important for the eye community to continue to innovate, invent, adapt, and harness the unique abilities of virtual health care technology to provide better eye care worldwide.

Purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to provide an overview of updates in data standardization and data privacy in ophthalmology. These topics represent two key aspects of medical information sharing and are important knowledge areas given trends in data-driven healthcare.Recent findingsStandardization and privacy can be seen as complementary aspects that pertain to data sharing. Standardization promotes the ease and efficacy through which data is shared. Privacy considerations ensure that data sharing is appropriate and sufficiently controlled. There is active development in both areas, including government regulations and common data models to advance standardization, and application of technologies such as blockchain and synthetic data to help tackle privacy issues. These advancements have seen use in ophthalmology, but there are areas where further work is required.SummaryInformation sharing is fundamental to both research and care delivery, and standardization/privacy are key constituent considerations. Therefore, widespread engagement with, and development of, data standardization and privacy ecosystems stand to offer great benefit to ophthalmology.
