Connectivity is now a prerequisite for in-hospital medical devices, and the benefits that come with that are significant; but there are risks, too.

our Product Innovation Manager, John O’Gorman, speaks with cybersecurity expert Ken Hoyme, Senior Fellow in Product Security at Boston Scientific.
They delve into why cybersecurity considerations must underpin in-hospital connectivity at every stage of the process, from device and infrastructure development to long-term management and support, as well as the risks and regulations medtech companies should be aware of.
