A year ago a predominant mode of thinking was that "nobody would ever hurt patients; there's no money in it." After a spate of Ransomware incidents that have shut hospitals, nobody says that anymore. There's been a lot of quiet progress - and some much more visible - in making medical devices safer. Manufacturers, the FDA, physicians, and security researchers are recognizing they can - and must - depend on each other to improve patient safety and medical treatment. Hear about our Hippocratic Oath for Connected Medical Devices, how much the FDA is pushing, what hospitals are doing, and other stories of progress as models for success.
There will be guest speakers filling in details of their progress, and what's next.
