5 Cybersecurity Strategies for Remote Patient Monitoring Systems
- Remote patient monitoring can offer personalized treatments but also comes with growing cybersecurity risks, with the 2023 COVID-19 pandemic leading to the most data breaches and the most leaked information recorded therein.
- To make remote patient monitoring more secure, improved cybersecurity protocols should be adopted starting from choosing more reliable patient monitoring systems with strong security features that conform to standardized cybersecurity requirements, such as the proposed FCC labeling program.
- Feature restriction, encompassing deactivation of automatic connectivity features and restriction of access permissions in compliance with regional privacy regulations, should also be adhered for enhanced security.
- Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for threat detection can assist in the analysis of IoT device traffic, allowing for faster identification of any unauthorized access or unusual activity.
- Users of remote patient monitoring must be educated on how to use the monitoring devices correctly and encouraged to use the security features that come with them, such as a strong password, while also being trained to spot phishing emails to avoid cybersecurity incidents.
- Lastly, cloud platform security is also essential in remote patient monitoring as companies must encrypt all electronic health records and implement real-time monitoring tools.
- Reliable security is necessary for remote patient monitoring to ensure patient privacy and adherence to regional privacy regulations, and companies in the healthcare industry must be mindful of cybersecurity risks.
