Workshop: Establishing the Vision and Creating a Roadmap for Security, Privacy and Ethics Research in Healthcare

医疗保健是一种社会需求，目前医疗保健支出占国内生产总值（GDP）的17.7%。存在新的挑战，如新的和不断演变的疾病（例如，抗生素抗性细菌），进化的情况（例如，COVID-19大流行），不断变化的行为（例如，反vaxxer运动，久坐不动的生活方式，阿片类药物危机），需要在治疗，药物发现和其他方面不断创新。信息和传感技术、通信平台和机器人辅助系统的进步，使医疗服务质量和医疗成本控制得到了显著改善。在卫生和人类服务领域，物联网设备、机器人辅助系统、移动的和边缘/云计算、社交网络、人工智能/机器学习等新技术正在迅速采用，创建一个数据密集型超连接的网络物理交互系统。这些新技术为实现个性化健康和福祉的梦想提供了越来越多的机会。然而，所有这些技术都带来了许多独特的安全、隐私和道德挑战。本次研讨会的目标是汇集大约50-60名科学家，学生和利益相关者，以确定在安全，隐私，公平和道德方面的独特挑战，这些挑战是在医疗保健中使用信息技术和计算的基础。通过汇集来自学术界，工业界和政府的计算，信息学和医疗保健的参与者，该研讨会旨在使这些社区之间的相互促进，并确定这一背景下独特的主要挑战。研讨会报告将总结研讨会的见解和结果，并分发给与会者和安全、隐私、医疗保健和信息学领域的科学专家。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Healthcare is a societal need with health spending accounting for 17.7% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) today. There are new challenges such as new and evolving diseases (e.g., antibiotic resistant bacteria), evolving situations (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), evolving behavior (e.g., anti-vaxxer movement, sedentary lifestyle, opioid crises) that require constant innovation in therapeutic treatments, drug discovery, and other aspects. Advances in information and sensing technologies, communication platforms, and robotics assisted systems, have led to significant improvements in the quality of healthcare delivery and in controlling the costs of healthcare. Within the Health and Human Services sector, there is rapid adoption of new technologies such as IoT devices, robotics assisted systems, mobile and Edge/Cloud computing, Social Networks, AI/ML, etc., creating a data-intensive hyper-connected cyber-physical interacting systems. These new technologies provide increasing opportunities to realize the dream of personalized health and well-being. However, all of these technologies bring a plethora of their own unique security, privacy and ethical challenges. The objective of this workshop is to bring together approximately 50-60 scientists, students, and stakeholders to identify the unique challenges in terms of security, privacy, fairness, and ethics underlying the use of information technology and computing in healthcare. By bringing together participants from computing, informatics, and healthcare, across academia, industry, and government the workshop aims to enable cross-fertilization between these communities, and the identification of the major challenges that are unique to this context. The insights and findings that results will be summarized in a workshop report and disseminated to the attendees and scientific experts in the fields of security, privacy, healthcare, and informatics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
