The Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) can help healthcare organizations prioritize security vulnerabilities, but it has limitations in IoMT environments. While EPSS provides valuable data-driven prioritization, it should be combined with other risk assessments, cybersecurity frameworks, and strategies to more comprehensively secure healthcare systems’ IoMT devices.
Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs), developed to help critical infrastructure industries prevent and become more resilient to cyber and physical security attacks, are expanding their strategies to meet ever-evolving threats. Errol Weiss, Chief Security Officer of the Health-ISAC, discusses how these groups work to protect industry, emerging threats and how device developers and healthcare organizations are working together to protect patients.
“We are incredibly fortunate to welcome Dr. Rizk to our advisory board. Her remarkable track record and profound knowledge in digital health will be invaluable as we continue to be at the forefront of redefining patient monitoring standards.”
While billion-dollar deals are common in the medtech industry, multi-billion-dollar megadeal acquisitions were still notable in 2022. Often, these deals result in a ripple effect on the industry when two large companies merge. Here we look at some recent examples, the growth drivers behind them and what they mean for the medtech industry.
Gait analysis is proving to be a vital tool in elderly health care, offering insights into overall health, frailty status and early signs of disease processes. With the help of novel technology, we’re now able to capture gait and mobility beyond mere observational analysis.
For life sciences companies seeking to develop, deploy and successfully commercialize digital health products and solutions, the pathway to success can have many twists, turns and roadblocks. This article examines some of the major challenges to bringing digital health products to market and explores potential opportunities to ease the journey.
Large sets of data are collected throughout the surgical continuum, but are chief medical officers and perioperative leaders able to use that data to drive clinical, operational, and financial improvements? Embracing data-driven surgery can help HCOs make use of their data to improve care, reduce costs and better manage staffing and workflow.
In leveraging the valuable insights delivered by real-time location systems (RTLS) technology, hospitals and healthcare facilities are able to undergo the kind operational overhaul they so desperately need, boosting ROI while simultaneously allowing for better working conditions for staff as well as more focused, immediate care for patients.
Regulatory requirements for computer systems validation (CSV) have long been in place, but their compliance requires considerable time and resources. In the life sciences industry, traditional validation processes add to project timelines and costs, affecting time to market and preventing the deployment of newer versions of software. In addition to improving accuracy and coverage, automated CSV processes can create the same artifacts as manual execution and expedite the upgrade timeline.
Connected devices already enable remote patient monitoring by collecting real-time data, such as injection date and time. With time, these benefits are likely to grow. Following are three areas where manufacturers are exploring new uses of digitalization in drug delivery to better understand the needs of patients and healthcare professionals and create more effective devices.
