Introduction

The Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Wearable is a rapidly growing medical device category used across hospitals, healthcare providers, telehealth platforms, chronic disease management programs, and home healthcare environments throughout the United Kingdom. These wearable devices continuously monitor patient health metrics such as heart rate, blood pressure, ECG, oxygen saturation (SpO2), glucose levels, respiratory rate, body temperature, sleep patterns, and physical activity.

Modern RPM wearables are highly connected devices that communicate with smartphones, mobile applications, cloud platforms, healthcare provider dashboards, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Hospital Information Systems (HIS), and telemedicine platforms. While this connectivity enables real-time patient monitoring and improved clinical outcomes, it also introduces cybersecurity risks that can impact patient safety, data privacy, device integrity, and regulatory compliance.

Cyberintelsys provides comprehensive security testing services for Remote Patient Monitoring Wearables, helping medical device manufacturers and healthcare organizations achieve compliance with EU MDR and FDA 510(k) cybersecurity requirements while strengthening overall device security.
