And almost all (98 percent) device traffic from IoT products is unencrypted, while 83 perecent of medical imaging devices are running on unsupported operating systems. That\u2019s a lot of alarming security data points about a technology that\u2019s only going to get more important as time goes by.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, a grain of salt is necessary here \u2013 this is a security company hyping up research that suggests a strong demand for its product. But it\u2019s hard to argue that the lack of active security support for crucial medical devices isn\u2019t worrying at this particular moment in time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A smartphone app that tests and tracks coronavirus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Swiss barcode reader company Scandit has a couple of useful innovations available to help slow the spread of COVID-19, both of which center on a smartphone app. The first is a patient data capture function for coronavirus testing, allowing healthcare providers in a clinic to simply scan a patient\u2019s driver\u2019s license, then the barcode on a blood or swab test sample, and the two are automatically linked without the need to handle documents or make physical contact with the patient.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fakesidebar\">\n<h4><strong>[ Online training:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idginsiderpro.com\/article\/3445440\/earn-your-iot-security-certification.html\">Earn your IoT security certification<\/a> ]<\/h4>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The other product is a contactless proof-of-delivery web app, which could be very helpful indeed, as demand for delivery services skyrockets. Instead of having to interact with a delivery person, customers can simply scan the barcode on their goods and sign to acknowledge receipt right there in the app. With social distancing likely to remain a crucial concern for the immediate future, minimizing contacts outside the household is a necessity.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tax dollars at work to help better treat COVID patients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The FCC announced earlier this month that it would help healthcare providers buy $200 million worth of telehealth goods and services, thanks to the recently passed CARES Act. Allowing as many patients as possible to be treated at home frees up space in healthcare facilities for people who really need it, and helps cut back on disease transmission.<\/p>\n<p>The program covers three major areas of telehealth: Broadband and Internet connectivity, remote information services like patient monitoring and connected diagnostic or tracking devices, like heart rate monitors that report data back to the provider. Eligible healthcare providers can even get reimbursed for previous COVID-related purchases, as long as they were made after March 13.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idginsiderpro.com\/article\/3537613\/iot-roundup-tech-companies-step-up-to-help-fight-against-covid-19.html#tk.rss_security\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month, we look at some of the ways the IoT sector is helping to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus.
