Cybersecurity and Privacy in Healthcare

2 Credits.

Healthcare delivery depends on digital systems — electronic health records, connected medical devices, telehealth platforms, and AI/ML-enabled tools. These bring tremendous benefits, but also significant risk to patient data privacy, system security, trust, and regulatory compliance. This course focuses on the intersection of cybersecurity, privacy, and artificial intelligence in healthcare. We will analyze real-world cyber incidents, AI/ML device vulnerabilities, regulatory and ethical frameworks, privacy-by-design, and governance strategies to protect health systems and patient data.
