SECURED Workshop at HiPEAC 2025

On January 22, 2025, the SECURED consortium successfully hosted the “Scaling Up Secure Processing, Anonymization, and Generation of Health Data” workshop at HiPEAC 2025. This event brought together experts from academia, industry, and the research community to discuss cutting-edge privacy-preserving technologies and their applications in healthcare AI and data analytics.

Key Highlights from the Workshop

The workshop showcased the latest advancements in scaling up secure multi-party computation, data anonymization, and synthetic data generation. These technologies are crucial for ensuring privacy and security in AI-driven healthcare solutions, as it was demonstrated in use cases such as:

• Real-time tumor classification
• Pediatric telemonitoring
• Genomic data access

Speakers from the SECURED project and the Flute Project (another initiative funded under the HORIZON-HLTH-2022-IND-13 call) shared their latest research and demonstrated real-world applications of privacy-preserving AI. The event provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and explore future collaborations in this rapidly evolving field.

Engaging Discussions and Key Takeaways

The workshop underscored the need for:

• Scalability in privacy-preserving computation to handle large and complex medical datasets.
• Ethical and legal frameworks to facilitate secure data sharing while ensuring compliance with regulations.
• Collaboration between researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to translate these technologies into practical healthcare solutions.

By bringing together a diverse audience, the workshop fostered discussions on the future of privacy-preserving healthcare analytics, highlighting the importance of balancing innovation with ethical and regulatory considerations.

Looking Ahead

The SECURED project continues to drive innovation in secure AI and data-driven healthcare applications. Insights from the workshop will inform ongoing research efforts and contribute to the development of privacy-preserving tools for well-being, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care.

We extend our gratitude to all speakers, participants, and organizers who contributed to the success of this event. Stay tuned for upcoming workshops and project updates at secured-project.eu.
