Researchers from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Trustworthy Health & Wellness project (THaW) will demonstrate transition to practice at the Medical Device Security 101 Conference January 15-17, 2017 at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Led by Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Council member Dr. Kevin Fu, who has spent the last decade working on medical device security, the group has assembled an impressive list of instructors for the two-day training conference.  Speakers include individuals who chaired the development of cybersecurity standards now recognized by FDA; experts from the Mayo Clinic and American Hospital Association; officials from FDA, OCR, and OIG; hospital CISOs; and leaders from manufacturers and providers. In addition, attendees will be given a free copy of the AAMI TIR57 on principles for medical device security risk management—recognized this summer by the FDA—to complement a lecture explaining how to apply the AAMI guidance.

The first day of the conference is now open to researchers, educational institutions, and students for a limited time. Register today at a special rate ($950 USD) for the first day of the conference with promotional code AMED2017 to get access to over 20 expert speakers at this highly selective event attended by medical device manufacturers and healthcare delivery organizations.
