The growth of the internet of things, along with its ability to store large amounts of user data, is a new challenge to individual privacy. Medical data is necessary for professionals, but these data have to be protected (PHI, Protected Health Information) and anonymized. In order to move towards a model of personal health information in Spain, a systematic review of the data protection legislation at an international level, as well as other related work, was carried out. Later, with the help of stakeholders, qualitative and quantitative methodologies were applied in order to obtain medical attributes classified according to their relationship. Interesting conclusions about the importance given by professionals to clinical attributes are described.
