Abstract

This paper presents the results from a recent evaluation of the reliability and cyber-security vulnerability of telemedicine/telehealth systems used today in the United States. As this technology becomes more widely used in an effort to reduce costs and better serve remote and isolated populations, these issues will undoubtedly become more pronounced. This paper presents some background information about telemedicine/telehealth systems and an overview of recognized reliability and cyber-security risks. It then discusses a national survey of equipment and software vendors for telemedicine/telehealth, discusses a risk scoring system that was developed as part of the project, and presents overall results and recommendations for future work in this area.
