BenefitsNetworked healthcare devices can dramatically improve fitness, medical outcomes, and our quality of life.

RisksBefore exposing ourselves to these new technologies, we need to vaccinate ourselves from risks to our security and privacy.

48%of healthcare providers have integrated their IT systems with consumer technologies or operational technologies.1

$63 billionpotential global savings from deploying IoT in healthcare.2

<60%of healthcare providers implemented security con-trols or a basic risk assess-ment for their IoT devices.3

Consumer products for health monitoring Wearable wrist bands send health stats wirelessly to user’s phone or computer, allowing people to monitor and improve their own health.

Wearable, external medical devices Insulin pumps can be monitored and adjusted wirelessly, giving the patient more control—and better care.

Internally embedded medical devices Doctors can remotely monitor and maintain pacemakers to identify signs of problems before a heart attack.

Stationary medical devices Networked cardio-monitoring lets patients recuperate in their own homes while still allowing health care professionals to routinely check in.

Accidental failuresNetwork or device failures could have serious consequences for patients.

Personal data theftThieves can steal personal data by intercepting unencrypted data sent wirelessly from devices.

Device tamperingIf a doctor can change device settings remotely, then so could a criminal or terrorist.
