Data security and privacy by design
Nursing homes are highly sensitive environments.
Privacy and data security are essential requirements when robots are introduced into daily care operations.
INGUNN is designed to support logistics without exposing resident data, staff information, or sensitive operational details.

Healthcare logistics must protect sensitive environments
A nursing home is not a normal logistics site. Residents live there, staff work there and everyday operations may involve sensitive information.
Robot-supported logistics must therefore be designed around privacy, data minimisation and controlled information handling from the start.
Data security focus areas
- Minimising collection and exposure of resident-related information
- Assessing where sensor data is used and how it is handled
- Protecting operational data related to routes, tasks and usage
- Restricting access to system administration and configuration
- Evaluating local privacy requirements before deployment
- Supporting safe use in resident-facing healthcare environments
Privacy principles for robot-supported logistics
Minimise exposure
The system should avoid unnecessary exposure of resident data, staff information or sensitive operational details.
Control access
Access to robot configuration, missions and operational data should be limited to relevant and authorised personnel.
Assess locally
Each deployment should include a site-specific review of privacy, data handling and local operating procedures.
Design for care
Robot systems in nursing homes should support care work without adding unnecessary data risk or administrative complexity.

Assess privacy and data handling before deployment
PPM helps nursing homes review sensor principles, operational data, access control and site-specific privacy requirements before INGUNN is introduced.
