Regulation of Mobile Technologies in Biomedical Systems: Data Governance, Compliance, and Digital Oversight

Abstract

This study examines the impact of data governance (DG), compliance (COM), and digital oversight (DO) on system performance (SP) and security within mobile biomedical systems in Indonesia’s healthcare sector. Employing Socio-Technical Systems Theory, the study investigates the role of regulations in enhancing operational efficiency and strengthening cybersecurity in digital healthcare. A quantitative cross-sectional design was utilised, with data collected from 200 healthcare and biomedical technology professionals through an online questionnaire. Relationships among variables were analysed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that DG had the greatest positive effect on both SP and security, followed by COM and DO. All these relationships were statistically significant (p < 0.001). This study shows that adopting integrated governance frameworks, complying with regulations and maintaining ongoing monitoring are important for making mobile biomedical technologies more reliable and secure. It also adds new evidence by examining operational performance and system security (SS) as distinct outcomes in mobile biomedical systems.
