RT Engineers develop new security protocol to protect miniaturized wireless medical implants from cyberthreats


To intuitively introduce a consistent lateral displacement, the design included a mechanical structure, like a dial pad. Rotating the pad at different angles causes the TX coil to move laterally at different distances, resulting in voltage changes at the implant's rectifier output. Credit: Kaiyuan Yang/Rice University

While these scenarios sound like scenes from a sci-fi thriller, such cyberhealth threats are of real concern as medical technology moves toward smart, wirelessly connected implants.
