Abstract
In recent years, the combination of healthcare and technology has resulted in substantial improvements in medical equipment, transforming patient treatment and results. However, as medical devices grow more networked and reliant on digital systems, cybersecurity vulnerabilities have become a major concern. The healthcare sector has experienced a profound shift with the integration of medical devices, from pacemakers to infusion pumps, into patient care. These innovations have revolutionized treatment, offering improved outcomes and better monitoring. Yet, this rapid digital transformation has also introduced unprecedented cybersecurity challenges, raising concerns about patient safety and data integrity. Regulatory organizations around the world recognize the importance of addressing cybersecurity concerns in medical equipment to ensure patient safety and data security. This article delves into the regulatory concerns regarding medical device cybersecurity and the efforts manufacturers must take to comply with these standards.
