The 12th International Workshop on Privacy and Security in Healthcare (PSCare 2025)

In conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Current and Future Trends of Information and Communication Technologies in Healthcare (ICTH 2025)

October 28–30, 2025 | Istanbul, Türkiye

The 12th International Workshop on Privacy and Security in Healthcare (PSCare 2025) is a premier multidisciplinary forum that brings together researchers, practitioners, industry experts, and policymakers to explore and advance the state of the art in healthcare security and privacy. The workshop aims to foster innovation, facilitate knowledge exchange, and address the urgent challenges in securing digital health systems and safeguarding sensitive patient information.

Held in conjunction with ICTH 2025, PSCare 2025 will take place in Istanbul, Türkiye, from October 28 to 30, 2025.

The growing complexity of healthcare systems, coupled with the rapid digitization of medical data, has raised critical concerns around information privacy, system vulnerabilities, and patient trust. PSCare 2025 aims to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial practice by providing a highly professional platform for presenting novel ideas, sharing practical insights, and discussing best practices in e-Health privacy and cybersecurity.
