Much like imaging devices, diagnostics and therapy devices are connected to the hospital information system (HIS) and are vulnerable to security threats throughout the entire system. Without proper security measures in place, lives reliant upon these devices are at risk. And unsecured diagnostic devices have the potential to impact the entire healthcare system if their security is breached. Wind River® has solutions to help make your connected devices safe and secure.

Business Issues

Security
Hospital IT organizations are challenged with managing and securing diverse hardware and software systems. Further complicating matters, some equipment manufacturers devise unique security solutions, often the result of designing purpose-built solutions based on non-standard or proprietary components. Consequently, determining whether equipment complies with the security policies of the purchasing hospital can be difficult.

Safety
The emphasis on safety is the only constant in medical device development. Design requirements, hardware architectures, development processes, and safety regulations all remain in a state of flux. To stay competitive, manufacturers must deliver safe devices on time and on budget, using a mix of legacy and next-generation tools and processes.
