Connected Health Deep Dive

Medical device innovators have been quick to adopt new connectivity technologies. These technologies enable communication between medical devices and software, improving the speed and quality of care, as well as patient safety. As hospitals, caregivers, and healthcare IT professionals transition to connected healthcare products, solutions for secure, uninterrupted connectivity are increasingly in demand. With this widespread adoption, both medical device developers and clinicians must now be cognizant of the potential risks connected devices pose in the healthcare setting.

In two back-to-back presentations, Michael Garrett, CEO and principal technologist for Garrett Technologies, and Laura Élan, cybersecurity practice lead for UL, will explore pressing issues in connected healthcare, including:

• Design considerations affecting wireless coexistence
• Best practices in medical device development, including risk and hazard analysis
• Risk analysis for cybersecurity
• An overview of global cybersecurity regulations, including confidentiality
• How to craft objective evidence for security assurance
