    My name is Scott Cadzow and I'm a standards development expert working mainly in ETSI (the ICT end of the official European Standards bodies set up by EU Directive). My core expertise is in security across a bunch of domains in networks, wireless communication and in specialised application domains such as Intelligent Transport and, as rapporteur, for ETSI's eHEALTH group. To this end I see eHealth security quite holistically as the attributes of the security model require it to be very long lived (longer than the patient), to be visible to lots of mostly unkown actors, to be confidential other than on a need to know basis and the evaluation of need to know is a complex ethical and contextual assessment (and one that changes with context). So lots of work and lots of intellect needing to be thrown into the mix. I'm keen to help.
  • Hi Omobolaji,


    Great to hear from you. Thanks very much for introducing yourself! Are there any areas in hospital healthcare technology in particular that you're hoping to learn more about? If possible, we may be able to try and run some activity on the topic in the future.


    You might also want to keep your eye out for our Future of Medicine event which will be taking place in May 2017. We are still finalising some of the speakers but we will be looking at the role of the doctor in ten years' time so this may include something of interest to you? All details will be on the webpage soon so please keep checking back!


    Kind regards,


    Gemma
  • Hi Scott,


    Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. Security in E-Health is definitely a subject which keeps cropping up again and again and I'm sure it will be around for some time! While we tend to touch upon it within our events we haven't actually run an event solely based on this topic. Do you think there might be an appetite from our wider community for something on this? It would be great to hear your thoughts! Please feel free to respond here or to email me - ghadley@theiet.org.


    Many thanks,


    Gemma

    Hi all, 


    I am a biomedical engineer working in Hong Kong. I have been joining IET for three years and currently the committee of IET Hong Kong, Electronics and Communication Section. My pleasure to join this Healthcare Technology Community coz biomedical engineering is still a relatively new and emerging engineering field in Hong Kong. 


    Regards, 

    Calvin WONG, MIET
