Health-care telematics in Germany have been a much discussed topic in recent years. Based on the methodological foundation of design-oriented artifact construction in Information Systems (IS) research, in particular method engineering, Ali Sunyaev develops a method for the organizational and technical analysis of security issues in health care using tools, methods, and processes in a structured and traceable way. He identifies security problems in the current concept of German health-care telematics and derives recommendations for future developments in the health-care sector.

Dr. Ali Sunyaev completed his doctoral thesis under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar at the Chair of Information Systems at Technische Universität München (TUM). He is an Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Information Systems Quality at the Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences, University of Cologne.
