Interoperability and Challenges in Healthcare Networks As medical devices become increasingly connected, ensuring secure interoperability is paramount. But this comes with its own set of technical and regulatory challenges. Device-to-device communication introduces new vulnerabilities, and balancing FDA cybersecurity guidance with HIPAA compliance for patient data privacy adds another layer of complexity. Manufacturers must also ensure that devices from multiple vendor platforms can securely communicate without introducing security gaps. Standardization across these platforms, while maintaining innovation and security, remains one of the toughest challenges to address. 👉 Next, we’ll explore: The Role of Emerging Technologies in Medical Device Cybersecurity #MedicalDevices #Interoperability #Cybersecurity #FDARegulation #HIPAA #HealthcareInnovation 👍 Please like if it resonates with you. 🔥 Join the conversation! 💬 Share your thoughts below. 🔄 Reshare to inspire your network! 🌊 Let’s make an impact together!

"Frankly, the best time to start thinking about cybersecurity for medical device is early, because if you make certain architectural decisions early, that then bring on vulnerabilities, it’s going to be very difficult to meet those needs down the line." - Jose Bohorquez The most recent updates to the FDA's guidance for cybersecurity requirements have expanded which medical devices are considered a "cyber device." Medtech companies who did not make the right architectural decisions early on may now be in a bit of a bind if they need to make significant changes to achieve compliance. In this episode of The Health Connective Show, Jose and Mohamad Foustok from Bold Type join Michael Roberts and Justin Bantuelle to discuss how these changes in FDA guidance will affect medtech companies, and what new companies can do to avoid issues. #medtech #podcast https://lnkd.in/gsarH-k7
