Core clinical engineering and protocols for IoMT Zero-Trust Security.
Hospitals house thousands of legacy medical devices—infusion pumps, patient monitors, and imaging units—often running obsolete embedded operating systems without built-in security. HealthIoMT enforces an zero-trust overlay: no device is trusted implicitly based on physical network connection.
Each connected IoMT device must authenticate via an IEEE 802.1AR secure device identifier anchored in hardware silicon. Firewalls dynamically generate software-defined microsegments, permitting only authenticated clinical protocols (e.g., HL7 FHIR or IEEE 11073) and terminating unauthorized lateral probing.
