This paper describes the evolution of information security and data privacy in medical systems from 2010-2024. The
protection of sensitive patient data, regarding which critical concern has been raised, is an imperative part of the healthcare
world in these fast-growing digital times. This study explores the trends, research domains, highly-cited publications, and
contributions of different countries and institutions in the concerned discipline. Using data derived from the Scopus database,
this study has highlighted a significant increase in research output with regard to technological advancement and the raising of
cybersecurity concerns in healthcare. The findings reveal that the research domain is collaborative, journal articles and
conference papers dominate, and emerging influential scholars and sources are present. The paper further looks into thematic
developments and highlights areas that call for further research, especially in advanced technologies like AI and blockchain, for
better data security. This analysis, therefore, enhances insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in efforts towards
hardening medical systems against evolving cyber threats with the continued protection of patient privacy.
