With the rise of digital health technologies, cybersecurity for personal medical devices like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors is more important than ever. This project, led by experts at Lancaster Medical School and industry partners such as Cisco, focuses on identifying and addressing cybersecurity risks in connected medical devices. By advancing best practices, informing national standards, and collaborating with leading MedTech companies, the initiative aims to enhance patient safety and protect sensitive health data. Discover how innovative cybersecurity solutions are shaping the secure future of healthcare technology.

The University of Lancaster and Howz have collaborated to develop innovative change detection methodologies that enhance health and social care monitoring. By leveraging IoT sensors, their approach analyzes daily routines and sleep patterns to detect anomalies in residents' behavior—critical for identifying potential health issues. Their latest methodologies utilize inhomogeneous Poisson processes to differentiate natural daily variations from significant changes across days, offering valuable insights into health trends and early indicators of decline. This groundbreaking research is revolutionizing disease prevention and in-home health improvement.
