Project Summary
Digital medical devices include for example continuous glucose monitoring systems, foot pressure feedback systems and insulin pumps. These technologies are personal devices in the sense that they support individuals to better manage their own health and are instrumental in supporting a digitally enabled healthcare system.
Although digital medical devices represent a major step forward in supporting personal health management and represent the future of healthcare services, concerns remain about cyber security of these resource-constrained medical devices and connected systems.
This EPSRC Connectivity Award brings together colleagues from across 快播视频 working in medical devices, clinical research and cyber security, together with key industry and NHS partners to build UK capability and capacity for medical device cyber security research.
The project aims to:
- Understand cyber-clinical risk and the nature of cyber security vulnerabilities for digital medical devices,
- Develop novel technologies to prevent/mitigate cyber-attacks for digital medical devices,
- Inform national standards and certification processes for cyber security of digital medical devices.
