Medical devices linked with blockchain for cyberattack protection

In the wake of the 2017 "WannaCry" cyberattack, the medical sector has recognised the urgent need for enhanced digital security measures.

A collaborative effort between Emporia State University and the University of Allahabad has led to the development of HNMBlock, a revolutionary blockchain system tailored for medical device monitoring.

HNMBlock integrates server-based blockchain technology with IoT devices, ensuring robust data security and streamlined access.

This innovation promises improved disease outbreak response, heightened patient engagement, and data-driven decision-making in healthcare.

With its focus on safeguarding critical health infrastructure, HNMBlock signifies the growing importance of blockchain in fortifying medical security against cyber threats.
