Dear Colleagues,
 
On behalf of the Health Academicians Association (SAD) and the University of North Carolina Pembroke (UNCP), it is our distinct pleasure to invite you to participate in the 10th International Congress on Health Informatics and Information Security, to be held in the beautiful city of Antalya, Türkiye, from 16–19 December 2026.
As healthcare systems worldwide undergo unprecedented digital transformation, the intersection of health informatics, information security, artificial intelligence, and clinical research has become increasingly critical. This milestone congress will bring together leading scholars, healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, technology innovators, and industry representatives to explore emerging opportunities and address the complex challenges shaping the future of digital health.
 
The Importance of the Congress,
The digitalization of healthcare is far more than a technological advancement—it represents a fundamental transformation in the way healthcare is delivered, managed, and experienced. Artificial intelligence, big data analytics, electronic health records, telemedicine, and personalized medicine are rapidly redefining clinical practice, healthcare administration, and biomedical research.
Alongside these advances come significant ethical, legal, and security considerations. Protecting patient privacy, safeguarding sensitive health information, ensuring transparency and accountability in AI-driven systems, addressing cybersecurity threats, and promoting equitable access to digital health technologies have emerged as global priorities.
The 10th International Congress on Health Informatics and Information Security provides a multidisciplinary platform for meaningful dialogue, scientific exchange, and international collaboration. Together, participants will examine current developments, share innovative research, and explore forward-looking strategies and policy solutions that will influence healthcare systems for years to come.
