Presenting A “Connected Health Deep Dive" into Issues Regarding Coexistence and Cybersecurity For Medical Device Developers
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 01, 2017 -- Garrett Technologies, Inc is proud to participate with UL in presenting back to back presentations on Coexistence and Cybersecurity for connected health products by Medical Device innovators who have been quick to adopt new connectivity technologies.
These technologies enable communication between medical devices and software, improving the speed and quality of care, as well as patient safety. As hospitals, caregivers, and healthcare IT professionals transition to connected healthcare products, solutions for secure, uninterrupted connectivity are increasingly in demand.
With this widespread adoption, both medical device developers and clinicians must now be cognizant of the potential risks connected devices pose in the healthcare setting.
The presentations topics include:
- Design considerations affecting wireless coexistence
- Best practices in medical device development, including risk and hazard analysis
- Risk analysis for cybersecurity
- An overview of global cybersecurity regulations, including confidentiality
- How to craft objective evidence for security assurance
“The demand for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE capable medical devices is increasing. These devices, however, are vulnerable to coexistence and cybersecurity issues,” says Michael Garrett, Garrett’s CEO. “We are very excited to present these topics to Chicago’s medical device developers.”
The event will be held on Wednesday, April 12, 2017 at MATTER, 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza Suite 1230 Chicago, Illinois 60654 from 1:30 pm to 4 pm. Although the event is free to attend. Registration is requested. Registration is available online at Eventbrite.
