BACKGROUND
Increasing privacy concerns in the health domain (e.g. due to new European Data Protection Regulations) require new approaches in AI and machine learning. One problem of the health domain is, that heterogenous data sources are extremely distributed over different locations. Secure storage and sharing of sensitive health data is a big challenge and mostly prohibit open research cross-institutional, even cross-departmental. Current technologies face limitations regarding safety, security, privacy, data protection and ecosystem interoperability. Standard methods, e.g. sending sensitive health data into a cloud for analysis is meanwhile a no-go and not suitable in the future for a number of reasons. The problem is twofold: On the one hand hospitals need a secure platform to store sensitive data, but on the other hand any health research (e.g. cancer research) needs to be openly shared for global research. In the health informatics domain one possible future solution is to in federated machine learning – making use of client-side computing and latest blockchain technologies [1], [2]. The premise is NOT to share any data (!) – but to share the learned representations (features) where a lot of reserach is urgently needed in order to bring novel ideas into daily business. This approach is privacy-by-design .
GOAL OF THIS WORKSHOP
This workshop brings together experts from diverse areas to pave the way for future collaborations in assessing and reducing cyber risks in hospitals and health care centers to help not only to protect sensitive patient privacy, but at the same time enable international open research on shared representations. The central goal is in improved security of health data, services and infrastructures with no risk of data privacy breaches and increased patient and researcher trust and safety in AI/machine learning approaches in open science.
All papers will be peer reviewed by at least three members of our international scientific conference committee (area 4: privacy, data protection, safety and security):
