人脸识别技术在医疗领域应用的法律风险初探

Legal risks of face recognition technology in medical field

在"互联网+医疗"和人脸识别技术研究不断深入的背景下,人脸识别产业不断成熟,人脸识别在医院管理、辅助医疗、疫情防控等医疗领域得到初步应用。与此同时,人脸识别技术在实践中带来了误差风险、技术破解风险、隐私风险、平等风险、滥用风险等问题,严重威胁群众的人身及财产权益,亟需法律界对此作出回应。作者在总结人脸识别技术在医院具体应用方向的基础上,对我国有关人脸识别法律规制的路径进行梳理,并提出应当立足技术研发、强化医疗机构"守门人"责任、健全法律体系与加强司法引领的建议,以完善人脸识别技术的法律规制,减少医疗机构在应用人脸识别技术中的侵权风险,保护公民的合法权益。

Under the background of"Internet+medical treatment"and the continuous deepening of face recognition technology research,the face recognition industry has continued to mature,and face recognition has been initially applied in medical fields such as hospital management,auxiliary medical care,and epidemic prevention and control.At the same time,face recognition technology brings problems including error risk,technical cracking risk,privacy risk,equality risk,abuse risk,and other issues in practice,which seriously threaten the personal and property rights and interests of the public.On the basis of summarizing the specific application direction of face recognition technology in hospitals,the authors sorted out the legal regulation of face recognition in China,and proposed that it should be based on technology research and development,strengthen the"gatekeeper"responsibility of medical institutions,improve legal system and recommendations for strengthening judicial leadership in order to improve the legal regulations of face recognition technology,reduce the risk of infringement by medical institutions in the application of face recognition technology,and protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens.
