3. • Advancements in healthcare technology have allowed caregivers to
better diagnose and treat patients since the beginning of the
professional practice of medicine.
• With the continuous development of technology in the healthcare field,
countless lives have been saved and the overall quality of life
continues to improve over time.
• With the increased use of electronic medical records (EMR), telehealth
services, IoT, analytics and evidence based medicine, physicians and
patients are both seeing the benefits that these new medical
technologies are bringing.
• New technologies continue to emerge that advance healthcare and
improve the quality of life for everyone.

8. Fibretronics
Fibretronics are clothing
materials with microchips
implanted into them.
• They can react to body
temperature or the mood of
the wearer.
• This technology can solve a
variety of patient monitoring
and state challenges.
• This is a prime example of
how IoT solutions
embedded in every day
items can have a direct
impact on healthcare
services.
Good Morning, it’s an honor to speak to you today, the healthcare is a dynamic and exciting industry and one that I have been apart of for the past 25 years.
Today we are going to quickly review the most relevant technologies that are impacting healthcare today and the technologies that present the most risk to the privacy and security of patients, healthcare provider and other players who manage sensitive information. Healthcare continues to be a popular target for cyber-criminals and bad actors in general. The richest of the data and the preponderance of legacy applications and architecture make healthcare an easy target. Without a solid infrastructure foundations, building new technologies and services on top will lead to additional and unnecessary risks.
Describe the slide
It’s all about the data… talk about how data science is changing healthcare and new sources of data both traditional and non-traditional are opening up access to personal information that can further increase the attack surface for a patient or healthcare provider/payer.
Data Scientists live in the big data space, healthcare in the US is adopting a “Value Based” model that relies on the use of data analytics to demonstrate the quality of service. As big data evolves, traditional, non-traditional, structure and unstructured data is included in the catalog of resources. As this catalog grows we increase the number of sources and potential security issues that can impact patients and healthcare resources.
Virtual reality if all about the creation of a virtual world that caregivers can interact with, this technology empower caregivers to model and practice procedures before impacting the patient.
A close cousin of virtual reality is augmented reality. Augmented reality is the blending of virtual reality and real life, as developers can create images within applications that blend in with contents in the real world. As these technologies become critical to the delivery of healthcare services, security attacks such as DDoS and ensuring the integrity of the data will require an enhanced security solution to ensure compliance.
Wearable technologies are literally destine to become part of the fabric of our lives with sensors and micro-technologies providing assistive and personal databases of activity and
We have all been impacted by the “Internet of Things” with smart devices, sensors and wearable, IoT is impacting every industry and healthcare is no exception. With devices integrated into our lives, businesses and work flow, it’s easy to see how security becomes a primary architectural concern. Each device can become an entry point for a bad actor. The challenge for CISO and their organizations is to find the most effective ways to control the every growing number of devices infiltrate our ecosystem and ultimately our networks.
We had a great deep dive session on practical uses of block chain technologies in yesterday’s session. Block chain is an intriguing framework that eliminates the central authority and distributes the “source of truth” across a network of nodes. This architecture can address systemic problems within healthcare from patient identity, supply chain, revenue cycle and integrity of pharmacy services.
It’s not enough to have networks connections and packets that can be passed back and forth, in healthcare the ability to interoperate between different Electronic Medical Record systems (EMR’s), that pass and maintain a patient identity related to ALL their records, exams, tests, images and other care related data is essential. The connectivity and the need for standardization is a challenge and a weakness that is often exploited by hackers and cyber-criminals.
