Artificial Intelligence is transforming medical technology. Devices that once recorded and relayed information are now interpreting it — identifying patterns, predicting outcomes, and even recommending actions in real time.
This new wave of embedded AI is revolutionising patient care. Imagine ECGs that learn from cardiac rhythms, imaging tools that detect early disease, and wearables that continuously adjust therapy — many of these rely on AI models running directly inside the device.
Yet with this progress comes new risk. When AI moves from the cloud into distributed, connected devices, it also moves outside the controlled, hardened environments designed to protect it. The same intelligence that powers innovation can become the target of attack. Those attacks can have very real consequences, not just for corporations’ Intellectual Property, but for patient outcomes.
