Edge computing allows you to create a secure “mini network” of a patient’s bedside medical devices, separate from the hospital’s main network. The edge computing device provides added security by controlling data exchange at the application level, rather than the network level.
In a survey of healthcare information security professionals taken before the pandemic, a majority of respondents acknowledged that their organizations experienced a significant security incident.
Many legacy systems were produced before cybersecurity required consideration, opening the door to cybersecurity attacks. The Capsule Platform enables hospitals to securely connect point-of-care devices to existing IT infrastructure.
Using a medical device integration solution that brings security to the connected devices can make securing such integration easier, safer, and more cost-effective.
