Security of e-Health Systems and Connected Medical Devices
IEEE 35th International Symposium on Computer Based Medical Systems (CBMS)
This special track is a part of the 35th IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (IEEE CBMS 2022), July 21, 22 & 23, 2022 - Shenzhen, China.
Aims and Scope
Healthcare organisations and protocols are increasingly dependent on IT systems and IoT devices, relying on them to provide patients with a better quality of care or even to offer 24/7 health care across borders, thanks to modern e-health services. This became even more evident since the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted that hospitals need secure, trustable and reliable exchange of health records and diagnosis. Remote medical care became the norm within the past few years. Despite the benefits, increasing reliance on healthcare on IT and IoT introduces security threats to the security of health information and patient records.
The aim of this special track is to offer a forum for research related to the security and resilience of smart health infrastructures that consider smart devices and systems, information security, medical devices security and interconnectivity, as well as usable and cost-effective solutions that promote resilience and fast recovery in case of incidents.
