About the Book

This book will examine the complex and rapidly evolving intersection of healthcare, artificial intelligence (AI), and data security. The book will address the central research question: can we harness the power of AI without jeopardizing patient data and privacy? In an era where AI is transforming healthcare practices, from diagnosis and treatment to patient management and drug discovery, the book will explore the paramount security and privacy concerns in AI-driven healthcare. This comprehensive volume will navigate the intricate landscape of AI applications in healthcare, highlighting the crucial need to safeguard sensitive patient data and maintain trust in these technological advancements.

The chapters in this book will explore the ethical and legal issues surrounding patient data collection, storage, and utilization for AI development. This book will also highlight the hidden biases embedded in AI algorithms and their potential to perpetuate healthcare disparities. Understanding these biases is essential for fair and just healthcare practices. In addition, this book will explore the black box problem of AI decision-making and its implications for patient trust and accountability in AI-driven healthcare solutions. The chapters in this book will also navigate the ever-evolving threat landscape for healthcare information systems, from targeted ransomware attacks to insider threats. Strategies to safeguard patient data and maintain system integrity will also be explored. Further, this book aims to discover tools like differential privacy and federated learning. These innovations strike a delicate balance, enabling AI advancements while preserving data privacy and security. Moreover, this book will recommend data governance frameworks, access controls, and encryption protocols to fortify healthcare information systems against vulnerabilities. Finally, the topics covered in this book will assist patients through clear explanations of AI's role in healthcare and avenues for redressal, ensuring that patients remain informed and empowered.

Note: There are NO submission or acceptance fees for manuscripts submitted to this book publication. This book will be submitted for possible indexation to Scopus, Web of Science, and major indices.
