An interview with Ben Newton
Global Head of Oncology Solutions GE Healthcare Interview conducted by Martino Picardo, Chairman, Discovery Park
DIAGNOSIS
Joining the dots of patient data, diagnosis and decision making is the holy grail for connected health. What is standing in the way? Is MedTech being implemented fast enough, and is “tech for good” a sustainable model?
Virtual drinks reception sponsored by UKRI Innovate UK
TREATMENT
From pills to prosthetics, 3D printing seems to be taking healthcare by storm. Could this be the ultimate personalised healthcare? Are implantable medical devices invasive or ingenious? With more stringent regulation around apps and wearables, can we now trust our healthtech?
Virtual drinks reception sponsored by UKRI Innovate UK
EMPOWERMENT
Can the use of apps and connected health put patients at the centre of their own care? We use wearables for everything from movement to monitoring and mobility. But are our “ables” making us more able? Is the growth in female-focused MedTech a niche or a no-brainer?

With the ongoing digitalisation of medical devices and the move towards online patient data to unlock the potential for personalised treatments, incorporating cybersecurity elements in the design is becoming a necessity.
In March 2019, the U.S. FDA issued a safety communication about cybersecurity vulnerabilities identified in wireless telemetry technology used for communication in a Medtronic implantable cardiac device. Medtronic subsequently had to develop an update to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
This session aims to provide insight into the aspects of cybersecurity that need to be considered by developers of connected medical devices and deliver some guidance into best practices.
