New Opportunities and New Challenges

As the need for less expensive and more accessible health care continues to increase, many practitioners and medical are relying on connected medical devices to monitor vital signs, perform electrical or chemical analyses, diagnose medical conditions, and even treat patients by administering things treatments such as electrical pulses or insulin. These technologies are improving the length and quality of countless lives, and they bring healthcare to patients outside of medical facilities. This extends the benefits of sophisticated technologies to persons who could otherwise not obtain or afford these treatments in a hospital setting.

This increased reach and growth, however, also means that the expectations, requirements, and challenges associated with these devices are increasing. Here are a few of the more significant issues that connected medical device designers and manufacturers face:

  • The increasing number of wireless devices makes wireless coexistence both more important and more difficult.
  • The cybersecurity threat landscape becomes greater.
  • The demand by consumers, insurance companies, and governments for reduced healthcare costs puts additional pressure on device vendors, which makes hitting the highly profitable early adopter phase more critical than ever.
  • The increasing use of devices by non-specialists on a variety of hardware and software platforms drives greater testing challenges for device firmware and associated apps.
