Dr. Ferro presented the two pilots OPBG is involved in, the advancements of our cybersecurity toolbox, and stressed the multidisciplinarity of our consortium; a key strength of CYLCOMED. This discussion explored how EU-funded research is driving real-world change and sustainable impact in the healthcare domain, and saw the presence of EU reviewers who listened carefully to the projects and mentioned the importance of leveraging existing assets and collaboration.
Looking ahead
CYLCOMED’s presence at HIMSS 2025 marked another step forward in boosting the cybersecurity of connected medical devices. The project remains committed to providing cybersecure solutions that meet real clinical needs while upholding ethical and regulatory standards.
