Manufacturing a high-quality medical device is a highly complex undertaking, and we are increasingly seeing these medical devices become interoperable. That is, medical devices are becoming connected to hospital networks and beyond that to the cloud. This makes them part of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Beyond the buzzword, this has legitimate and important utility in helping ensure that the right clinical information is available in the right place to support patient care. The Covid19 pandemic has brought to light burnout issues to the general public among physicians and nurses that increase human error. The ability to transmit clinical information rather than physically moving medical staff is always a great help. However, networking medical devices and sharing valuable clinical data interoperably pose a number of risks that can impact patient health and lives if not addressed early and in the right way.
