The next generation of medical devices for domiciliary or ambulatory monitoring will be Internet of Things sensors, linked to a data aggregator (maybe a smart phone), sending data to the cloud, downloaded to the "secure" NHS WAN (in the UK), merged with other data from that patient, and delivered to the physician's desk, then a report is sent back via the cloud again to the GP or the patient. Trace the number of steps along that way, each of which has to be secure. Each of which has its own demands and protocols. Many of which are totally outside the control of the manufacturer of the devices.
Then add this comment from a president of a cybersercurity firm "All government agencies around the world insist that we supply security systems with a backdoor..."
