Why Cybersecurity Is the Silent Backbone of Digital Health Innovation

Digital health has transformed the healthcare industry in ways unimaginable just a decade ago. From telemedicine consultations to cloud-based electronic health records (EHRs), digital tools have enabled clinicians to provide better care, reduce administrative burden, and improve patient outcomes. However, the backbone of this innovation is often invisible: cybersecurity. Without robust cybersecurity measures, digital health innovations risk being compromised, potentially threatening patient safety, data integrity, and organizational trust.
