PRIVACY AND SECURITY FOR TELEHEALTH DEVICES

Neurosecurity: security and privacy for neural devices.

An increasing number of neural implantable devices will become available in the near future due to advances in neural engineering. This discipline holds the potential to improve many patients' lives dramatically by offering improved-and in some cases entirely new-forms of rehabilitation for conditions ranging from missing limbs to degenerative cognitive diseases. The use of standard engineering...

Implementable Privacy and Security for Resource-Constrained Devices

For telehealth to succeed, privacy and security risks must be identified and addressed.

The success of telehealth could be undermined if serious privacy and security risks are not addressed. For example, sensors that are located in a patient's home or that interface with the patient's body to detect safety issues or medical emergencies may inadvertently transmit sensitive information about household activities. Similarly, routine data transmissions from an app or medical device, s...
