I currently work in Industry, and with the new age of technology the point of care diagnostic device that I work on added a new capability of connecting wirelessly with being able to transmit collected data up to a cloud. This includes storing patient information along with their test results, operator information, cartridge lists, etc. Additionally, as a phone receives pushed down wireless updates, our device implemented this same feature of updating the software on the device itself. However, with the advancement in technology, this comes with more security concerns in the means of cyber security, especially with this day in age of hacking that is occurring worldwide. Stronger firewalls and security is needed to protect this cloud, which shall contain all this private information.
