"A Model Hospital Where the Devices Get Hacked—on Purpose"

A mock hospital, called the Medical Device Village, will be set up at the 2019 DefCon hacking conference. The model hospital will consist of various medical devices, including pacemakers, insulin pumps, and other gadgets that one would find in an actual medical facility. In order to increase interest in bolstering the security of medical devices, researchers are encouraged to hack the devices in the model hospital. In addition to the mock hospital, there will be a formal capture the flag hacking competition and an opportunity for participants to get a more hands-on hacking experience. This article continues to discuss the Medical Device Village in relation to its purpose, pervious versions, and support, along with the importance of implementing security in the design of medical devices.
