چکیده
Rapid developments in wireless technologies have ushered in a new era of medical devices that are improving patient quality-of-life and lowering costs for both healthcare providers and owners. Diagnostic, monitoring, and treatment systems are becoming wearable and implantable, which give them numerous advantages over bulky medical equipment. However, the wireless connectivity and programmability of these devices and applications creates an enormous vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious hackers. This paper will discuss the advantages of wireless mobile medical devices in terms of both functionality and efficiency, presenting examples to support the claim. It will then transition to assess the diversity and severity of security threats inherent to these devices. Finally, current research on potential security solutions will be presented.
