Webinar Details

Medical devices, their hardware, and software are increasingly connected to the Internet, sometimes referred to as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) or the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare. Healthcare professionals access data from imaging technologies in hospitals to remote patient monitoring and alert systems at home or on the human body. Patients may use medical device software at home to aid with physical rehabilitation. The global IoT in healthcare market is expected to reach USD $169.99 billion by 2030. 
Cybersecurity involves the protection of electronic information and assets from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. There have been reported cybersecurity issues in the healthcare industry such as malware, ransomware, and data breaches, and regulatory authorities have come up with principles and best practices for managing the cybersecurity of legacy medical devices.

The International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) comprises global regulatory authorities as stakeholders, including those in North America, the EU, Asia, Australia, and more, has recommended various principles and best practices including responsibilities for the medical device manufacturer and the healthcare professional for the management of legacy medical devices throughout the device life cycle. This webinar explores cybersecurity, the medical device life cycle, and the responsibilities of the manufacturer and healthcare professional at each phase or stage of the medical device life cycle.
