However, removing this protective covering creates an opportunity for bacteria to enter the wound site. To remedy this problem, researchers at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Modular Solid State Technologies EMFT have developed dressings which change color if the wound becomes infected. Early tests have shown promise, and the scientists now plan to test their invention in the field at the University of Regensburg’s dermatology clinic.

But, along with the proliferation of medical reference apps and interfaces to electronic health records (EHRs), there is a much broader world of mobile medical devices and simpler phone interfaces collectively termed “mHealth,” which is an area of intense interest for governments, industry and care providers. This year, this interest has been punctuated by nearly half a dozen different mobile health meetings — many that iMedicalApps has attended and participated in. Perhaps, the largest one of all — the mHealth Summit — is now in session in the Washington Convention Center, sponsored in part by the Fou...

Apparently, a team of computer security experts has been able to gain wireless access to a combination heart defibrillator and pacemaker manufactured by Medtronic. The team was also able to access patient data by eavesdropping on signals from a tiny wireless radio embedded in the implant. The radio allows doctors monitor and adjust the device non-invasively. The New York Times has the scoop. The first thing I thought of was all the DIY/RFID-type stuff that some of my maker buddies are into. It’s somewhat obvious, but if we are going to become a bionic society in some future era, network security is going to take on a whole different meaning.
