Researchers will adapt smart alarm research to detect and react to attacks on medical devices.

Android Nexus 7 tablets attached to intensive care unit bedside monitors, displaying an annotation application. The green and red buttons allow clinicians to annotate alarms as useful or not useful, respectively. Based on their current smart alarm research, the team is planning to apply a similar approach to detect attacks on medical devices.
