New Cybersecurity Standards for Medical Applications
Connectivity in medical devices creates new diagnostic and treatment opportunities, yet at the same time increases the risks of cyberattacks—including their consequences for patient safety and data privacy. Now the new IEC 81001-5-1 standard provides clear technical requirements for manufacturers and developers to ensure the cybersecurity of their products across their life cycle.
Empowering Patients Through RPM
Remote care in the home relies both on the quality of patient monitoring and on the insights provided to the care team. There is a real danger that data overload and alert fatigue will undermine otherwise well-designed remote patient monitoring (RPM) and Hospital at Home programs. The software platform and algorithms tasked with integrating and evaluating data must identify the data that matters, when it matters.
Patient Engagement and Connected Medical Devices Series: Lifestyle Integration for Medical Devices
Devices by themselves don’t improve outcomes. Better lifestyle integration is key to driving changes in patient compliance—embedding sensors into the sorts of devices people can use every day to increase opportunities for passive biometric capture and to facilitate therapeutics.
Remote, Telehealth-Driven World Poses New Concerns for Medical Device Security
Medical device security needs to address the cyber-physical threats, not just patient health information risk.
Why Healthcare Facilities Need Historical Analytics
Devices in healthcare facilities support mission critical processes. Any issue that degrades network performance can have serious consequences.
How the Internet of Things Will Revolutionize Medical Research
Across our industry, IoMT will enable us to conduct research in ways that would never previously have been possible.
An Intelligent Approach to Modernizing Quality Management Systems
Operating with an antiquated QMS raises your risk. Here’s what to consider when modernizing your system.
Medical Device Cybersecurity in the Age of IoMT
As the proliferation of connected and complex medical devices grows, healthcare providers are more susceptible to cyberattacks.
