Summary
The NCCoE, in collaboration with the Technological Leadership Institute at the University of Minnesota, initiated a project to improve the security of wireless medical infusion pumps. This is the first of a series of use cases focused on medical device security. Our original project description draft was published in December 2014, describing the project and asking for public feedback. We received more than 200 comments. A final project description incorporating those comments was published in December 2015…Click HERE to find out more.
