The growing efforts of digitizing healthcare provide many new
opportunities, but they also bring a lot of challenges for researchers and
medical professionals in terms of protecting the privacy and security of
patients’ data and electronic health records. More and more healthcare
providers and organizations have suffered security breaches, which puts at

research on today’s problems and opportunities for security and privacy in
healthcare. Further, it addresses new approaches and strategies to improve
the capabilities of protection healthcare data. Research may focus on
specific areas related to themes and issues, tools and techniques, mHealth
security and privacy, securing electronic health records, mitigating risks,
incident response, technical and legal issues related to the security and
privacy of patients’ healthcare data, including data obtained through the
Internet of Things (IoT).

   - Security issues with electronic health records (EHR)
   - Privacy concerns for patients’ data
