The digital transformation of the healthcare industry is one of the greatest challenges for society, the economy, and the state in recent decades. However, it is also a crucial prerequisite for improved treatment methods on the path to personalized medicine, digital twins in research, and telemedicine approaches. Secure information and communication technology (ICT) plays a central role in this process. As the use of ICT in the healthcare sector increases, new risks also emerge in the areas of cybersecurity and privacy protection. MedCAST specifically addresses these risks and explores possible solutions by bringing together experts from various fields within the healthcare sector. We examine the topics of cybersecurity and privacy in medicine from three perspectives: the technical perspective of ICT security, the medical perspective of key institutions and roles in healthcare, and the user perspective, which ensures that new technologies become both applicable and accepted.

The next workshop in the Fraunhofer CIMD 4D workshop series, which will be held on 21 May in Essen, will focus on the topic of ‘Digital innovations in healthcare: How AI and Data Science are Reshaping Patient Care’. The 4D workshops are primarily aimed at doctoral students, young postdocs and project staff at Fraunhofer CIMD.
