The integration of smart medical devices (IoMT) offers transformative healthcare benefits but simultaneously exposes patients to severe cyber risks, including device manipulation, data breaches, and service disruptions that directly threaten safety and erode trust. This episode critically examines the ethical and legal challenges surrounding informed consent, particularly the current absence of standardized guidelines for effectively communicating complex and ambiguous cyber threats to patients. We explore how embracing "Secure-by-Design" and "Secure-by-Default" principles is essential for embedding robust security into IoMT from the ground up, thereby protecting patient well-being, preserving trust, and reducing liability across the healthcare ecosystem.
