In partnership with tech company TRIMEDX, IU Health’s Medical Device Security Lab will use TRIMEDX’s technology to test the health system’s medical devices for vulnerabilities and interoperability, according to an Oct. 26 press release from TRIMEDX.
The lab is looking to test for configurations and security setups, and scanning of equipment specific to security testing with no live network or risk of patient impact.
“Mitigating cybersecurity threats is vital to protecting patient safety and data,” Nick Sturgeon, executive director of information security at IU Health, said in the release. “The cutting-edge device testing lab enhances the ability to remediate vulnerabilities before equipment reaches the patient floor.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
