The pilot
What is the scope?
The Hospital do Espírito Santo (HES) will provide to SPHINX the end-user perspective on the requirements to develop an improved cybersecurity toolkit to use with the HES’s ICT infrastructure, considering the specifics of the medical devices, health sensors and medical databases installed in and accessed by HES, as well as integration with remote care ICT systems and devices, including the homecare environment.
Overall, the expected benefits will include:
- Reduction of the incidence of cyberatacks in HES
- Improvement of security and privacy of highly sensitive patient data
- Develop a secure remote monitoring dynamic system
- Reduce the impact of intervention in patients life
- Improve the quality of patient’s life
- Ensure the safety of the patient in their home
- Reduce costs in Healthcare System
