Abstract

Technology changed the world over the past decades, reinventing the way we work, communicate, and live. In the healthcare sector, it has contributed to driving innovations in the diagnosis process, treatment, data management, and information access. However, this transformation has been accompanied by an increasing dependence on digital systems and connectivity. Nowadays, concepts such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity are widely recognized, but organizations just became aware of the benefits and risks involved. In fact, the nature of their relationship it is still under discussion.

The central objective of this study is to explore the dynamics of this relationship in healthcare, taken as a sector undergoing constant technological evolution. We propose a dual approach, encompassing both strategic and operational perspectives, which can support the management of this complex interaction, balancing security and innovation.
