Security Risks, Low-tech User Interfaces, and Implantable Medical Devices: A Case Study with Insulin Pump Infusion Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Portable implantable medical device systems are playing a larger role in modern health care. Increasing attention is now being given to the wireless control interface of these systems. Our position is that wireless security in portable implantable medical device systems is just a part of the overall system security, and increased attention is needed to address low-tech security issues.

Through the continuous electrical technology innovations, electromagnetic interferences (EMI) on medical devices (MD), and consequences on the patient are still relevant. In order to prevent the patient from injury, the standards evolution is an important mission for the UTE French standard organization, which develops standards for MD. First considering the public environment, by design the pa...
متن کاملFor 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...
