Secure Communication Protocols for Medical Devices

Pocket Clinic Corp. is seeking to enhance the security of its medical devices by developing robust cybersecurity protocols. The primary goal of this project is to ensure secure communication between the medical device, its mobile app, and the cloud. This involves defining security measures for the device, establishing a cybersecurity protocol for Bluetooth communication between the app and the device, and creating a protocol for secure data transmission from the mobile app to the cloud. The project will provide learners with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of cybersecurity and network protocols in a practical setting. By focusing on these specific areas, the project aims to protect sensitive medical data from unauthorized access and ensure patient privacy. The project is designed to be completed by a team of learners allowing them to gain hands-on experience in the field of medical device security.

ISO 13485 Implementation Plan

The Objective Implementation plan to achieve compliance with the ISO 13485:2016 standard (Medical devices — Quality management systems — Requirements for regulatory purposes). Primary Focus of the Project: Research and determination of the ISO 13485:2016 Compliance Requirements. Gap Analysis and determination of where we need to improve or implement new controls. Prepare documentation Requirements in ISO 13485

Electrical Circuit Design for a Medical Device

We are developing a biosensor for various chronic diseases. Currently, we are looking for a team of students who can get involved in a smaller part of the project where we need to develop the mechanical assembly along with the required electronics and software. The goal of this project is to improve upon a currently existing and operational (but not optimized) electrical system within a hardware product and assist in the assembly and testing of a new electronic hardware product. The product is a smart injector with sensors and a microprocessor for drug delivery. We hope the student will learn more about electronics design, testing protocols, and quality assurance. The improvements will be evaluated by a number of factors including safety of the design, regulatory compliance, cost reduction, simplification (reduction in component numbers or size), and quality of components/suppliers chosen.
