Promoting and Dealing with Advanced Technology in Healthcare 2025

Promoting and dealing with Advanced Technology in Healthcare (PATH) is a pivotal step towards enhancing the quality and efficiency of medical services. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), software security, and privacy into healthcare systems can significantly improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment personalization, and operational efficiency. The goal of the PATH workshop is to explore the application of these technologies in the healthcare sector, focusing on their potential to address key challenges related to clinical outcomes while preserving data security, patient privacy and system reliability. Moreover, the role of AI in enhancing decision-making processes and the importance of secure software infrastructures in safeguarding sensitive medical data are fundamental themes for discussion. Understanding and improving the adoption of such advanced technologies is crucial for shaping the future of healthcare. Thus, the theme of PATH 2025 is "Innovating Healthcare through Advanced Technology.

Call for Papers

The PATH workshop invites submissions that address the integration of advanced technologies—particularly Artificial Intelligence and secure software systems—into modern healthcare. As the healthcare industry undergoes rapid digital transformation, critical issues such as system efficiency, data privacy, and cybersecurity have emerged as core challenges. PATH seeks to explore how technological innovation can be harnessed to improve patient care, streamline healthcare systems and processes, and ensure robust security and ethical compliance.

The goal of PATH is to provide a dedicated forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research and practical insights related to healthcare technology. The workshop encourages the participation of researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers from academia and industry, and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration to shape the future of secure, efficient, and AI-driven healthcare systems.
