At a recent Black Hat conference, a diabetic man demonstrated how to spoof a wireless insulin pump, causing a life-threatening situation. At a hospital in 2013, a computer program issued a dosage of medicine 76 times the required dose, due to a program glitch. In an IoT era where revolutionary medical software and implantable devices give hope to people with chronic disorders, they also stand as a new frontier for security and privacy. As clinicians increasingly rely on computers vs. common sense, and medical devices become increasingly vulnerable to security breaches, it’s time for new dialog on trust and security for Medtech. Part of the IEEE Tech for Humanity Series.
