Manage episode 498437197 series 3604885
This podcast delves into the escalating cybersecurity threats facing modern medical devices, from Bluetooth-enabled pacemakers and insulin pumps to sophisticated patient monitors, revealing how vulnerabilities can lead to dire consequences for patient safety and data integrity. We explore the ethical frontiers of this challenge, examining how advanced neurotechnologies and the biohacking movement introduce new attack vectors that could compromise cognitive privacy, manipulate neural data, and even affect human behavior. Join us as we uncover the urgent need for robust security frameworks, regulatory oversight, and collaborative efforts across healthcare, technology, and governance to protect our increasingly interconnected health infrastructure and the very essence of human autonomy.
