Hack this: Researchers develop device to shield pacemakers

June 15, 2011 By Arezu Sarvestani Leave a Comment

IMD Shield

Wireless devices have changed the way health information moves, making data more abundant and more accessible. But it’s also made medical devices more vulnerable.

Researchers at MIT and the University of Mass. Amherst are the first to develop a technology that could protect the millions of existing medical device implants without altering or replacing them.

Wireless technologies made their mark on medical devices in a big way, attaching themselves to everything from pacemakers and defibrillators to insulin pumps and nerve stimulators.

Hack protection: Protecting implanted devices from potentially lethal hackers

June 14, 2011 By MassDevice staff Leave a Comment

MIT

Most of the millions of implanted medical devices in existence today have a wireless component that allows doctors to monitor patients’ vital signs and revise treatment programs by tapping into the device’s signal.

But those wireless capabilities could also make devices susceptible to hackers, say researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Worst case scenario – hackers could program a device to deliver a medication overdose or electric shock that kills the victim.

Army App

The U.S. Army announced that it will begin testing 85 smartphone apps, including ones designed to help medics share medical information in the field.

The Army first announced that it would consider battlefield smartphone apps in December, when it began conducting pilots to determine whether medical record applications running on Apple and Android devices would be helpful in the field.

The latest series of tests include apps that allow soldiers to track moods and emotional well-being and medics to report a wounded soldier’s information and GPS location.
