After Cyprus, we just announced the 2nd e-CyberHealth 2024 Conference in Athens, Greece.

​

Τhe Healthcare industry offers life-critical services enhanced with innovative technologies in today’s digitized environment, defining the field of e-Health. The Cyber Security is a key requirement for its systems and networks.

e-Health is the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) across the whole range of functions that affect health sectors such as the Electronic Health Records system (EHRs), TeleHealth (remote medical consultation), Remote monitoring devices, m-Health (health by smartphones), e-Learning 4Health, Biosensors, Health Analytics & Big Data.

​

The ever-increasing exchange and access to significant amounts of medical data such as the improvement/acceleration diagnosis of patients, their treatment, management and history in general, led to an overabundance of Health data.  Patients e.g. are now experiencing the use of digital services such as access to electronic patient medical records, medical prescriptions via apps, cross-border health services. Thus, e-Health became a prime target for cybercriminals.

​

The Digital transformation in the Healthcare industry is in a continuous process of evolution therefore the key actors, Health Organizations, Pharmaceutical Companies, Health Professionals as well as Patients, must constantly meet the CyberSecurity requirements.

​

The aim of the e-CyberHealth 2024 Conference is to raise awareness and strengthen the collaboration of all stakeholders in the e-Health environment, already sensitive due to its characteristics and particularities, in addressing current and future CyberSecurity challenges.
