Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare systems have undergone significant transformations to enhance accessibility, improve health outcomes, and reduce costs. Among these changes, telemedicine has emerged as a popular avenue for delivering medical services, allowing patients to receive care remotely. How- ever, the adoption of telemedicine among older individuals, who often require specialized medical attention due to age-related health issues, has been slow. This reluctance to embrace telemedicine exacerbates healthcare disparities, particularly among the elderly population. This project aims to investigate privacy and security threats faced by elderly individuals in the context of telemedicine. Specifically, the study seeks to analyze data collected from a survey of 500 individuals aged 60 and above to identify prevalent privacy concerns among the elderly in Cameroon. A survey-based approach will be employed to gather insights into the privacy and security concerns of older individuals regarding telemedicine. The survey will be designed to capture demographic information, assess perceptions of privacy risks associated with telemedicine. Logistic regression analysis will be conducted to explore associations between demographic factors and privacy concerns. The study findings will provide an understanding of the privacy and security challenges faced by elderly individuals in telemedicine. Logistic regression analysis will reveal demographic factors influencing privacy concerns among older adults. This research contributes to improving privacy and security measures in telemedicine for elderly individuals by identifying existing privacy and security concerns and bringing to light where to better improve it. By addressing these challenges, healthcare providers and policymakers can promote the equitable access and utilization of telemedical services among the elderly, thereby enhancing overall healthcare delivery and outcomes.
