Wearable devices can enhance patient care, improve diagnostic accuracy, and streamline healthcare operations.
As wearable devices and remote patient monitoring systems proliferate, there’s a higher risk of attacks by cybercriminals. Because they transmit data wirelessly, the possibilities of data interception and breach increase. However, all is not lost. By necessitating better data safety measures and strict adherence to comprehensive regulatory frameworks around interoperability, security, and data privacy, wearables can be safely deployed and used.
TCS approaches device security with TinyML, a technology that makes such devices smarter, as well as enables fully homomorphic encryption and secure multiparty computations. With data analysis and processing happening directly on the device, the need to send sensitive information to external servers is reduced drastically.
The healthcare industry is inherently better off given that it is one of the most regulated industries. Stringent adherence to regulatory compliance itself can make healthcare more resilient. New approaches like federated learning help glean useful insights from patient data without compromising on their privacy.
AI’s evolving role in healthcare offers many exciting possibilities. But AI is also a double-edged sword. Security and privacy by design for AI-powered connected healthcare systems can minimize the risk posed by the expanded threat surface.
By ensuring data collection is minimal, data integrity is watertight, and by periodically updating AI models with accurate and diverse data points, the industry can maximize the benefits that AI can offer. Ethical AI development principles and an overall awareness towards security among stakeholders are important as well.
