Ms. Wang received a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a master’s degree in software engineering from the University of Maryland. Securing the Telehealth/Remote Patient Monitoring Ecosystem: An Example Solution Health Delivery Organizations (HDOs) leverage telehealth capabilities, such as remote patient monitoring (RPM) and videoconferencing, to care for patients in their homes. Although telehealth technologies can improve the efficiency of patient care, they are vulnerable to cybersecurity risks. The National Cybersecurity of Excellence (NCCoE) is currently developing an example solution to help secure the telehealth RPM environment. We will discuss our example solution which includes biometric devices provided and managed by telehealth providers using the cellular network. We will share our plans to build upon this example by updating our guidance to include broadband-based communications, including Wi-Fi. Our project page includes more information about this project.
