[AISWorld] HICSS CFP: Security and Privacy Challenges in Healthcare

[Au Vo]

Dear Colleagues:

Please considering submitting your latest research in security and privacy in healthcare into the minitrack Security and Privacy Challenges in Healthcare.

Below is the brief description of the minitrack: 

Digitizing healthcare services can provide many new benefits and opportunities. However, it can also introduce new research challenges in terms of protecting the security and privacy security of patient data and electronic health records. Furthermore, as security incidents and breaches continue to impact healthcare providers and organizations, patient information continues to be at risk and such organizations are under pressure to enhance the credibility and reliability of the health facilities that they provide.
The Security and Privacy Challenges in Healthcare mini-track encourages research in emerging problems and opportunities for security and privacy in healthcare. Further, it addresses new approaches and strategies to improve the capabilities for protecting healthcare information. Research may focus on specific areas related to themes and issues, tools and techniques, Mobile Health (mHealth) security and privacy, securing electronic health records, mitigating risks, incident response, technical and legal issues related to the security and privacy of patient healthcare data, including data obtained through Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR) technologies implemented in healthcare.
Topics covered by the mini-track include, but are not limited to:
• Security and privacy challenges associated with Electronic Health Records (EHR)
• Privacy concerns for patients’ data
• Security and privacy risks associated with technologies such as cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR) for healthcare
• Mobile Health (mHealth) security and privacy
• Mitigating risks in Healthcare Information Technology
• Incident response and digital forensic readiness in healthcare
• Lessons learned from recent healthcare security breaches
• EHR vendor selection and management with a focus on security and privacy
• Legal issues and regulations
• Security Education, Training, and Awareness (SETA) programs
• Tools, techniques, and algorithms for protecting patients’ data
• Healthcare infrastructure protection
• Theoretical foundations of security and privacy for healthcare


Looking forward to reviewing your research.

Best,
