eHealth and Welfare Security

The e-Health and Welfare Security (e-HWS) research group focuses their research in the privacy and cyber security challenges related to the fields of eHealth and welfare.

Research activity

Illustration of eHWS

The group works to create mutual understanding across health and cyber security sectors by identifying key research challenges needing a joint force from both sectors, and proposing innovative technical and socio-technical solutions to the identified challenges.

Examples of our current research priorities:

Secure data management
Privacy models and privacy enhancing technologies
System-level security for healthcare applications
Risk models and risk analysis
Crypto-biometrics for healthcare uses
