Risks and real-world issues with connected devices [Webinar]

Connected medical devices promise great benefits for patients, family members, doctors, and others. They can provide timely reminders, peer support, training, reduced costs or clinical trial data. However, they also have many risks. This webinar will explore some of the risks associated with connected devices.

Today’s speaker, Tom Oakley, Director of Drug Delivery Device Development at Springboard, will summarise the main risks and give examples of real-world solutions, covering:

 

  • Unrealistic expectations
  • Usability (human factors)
  • Risks to critical functions
  • Hacking and malware
  • Data silos
  • Regulatory issues
  • Business models
  • Security of supply
  • Environmental impact
