The risks are connected. The response should be too.

Connected medical devices are essential to modern care, but the risks surrounding them cross technical, clinical, and organizational boundaries. A vulnerability in one device can become a challenge for patient safety, care continuity, and organizational resilience. Yet health systems, manufacturers, researchers, and policymakers often see only one part of the problem.

Archimedes brings those perspectives together, and through PATCH, gives them a place to test what happens before it happens in patient care.
