The manufacturing sector has reached an inflection point in its digitization journey. The availability of high-powered mobile devices (smartphones, tablets and the like), the industrial internet of things (IIoT), massive data creation, artificial intelligence, cloud-based technologies and the drive for competitive advantage have sparked a transformation not seen since the advent of the assembly line.
It’s all too clear that the cybersecurity community, once more, is facing elevated challenges as well as opportunities.

Heading into VMworld, I sat down with Imprivata CIO and former Walnut Hill Medical (WHMC) Center CIO, Aaron Miri, to talk virtualization.

What role does technology play in a provider’s ability to deliver the best patient care? A large one. Imprivata President and Chief Executive, Gus Malezis, explores the impact technology has on the productivity level of providers in a recent article for The Health Care Blog. Gus delves into the ways the healthcare IT industry must create higher standards for technology that will increase efficiency, instead of hindering it. He explains how physicians compromise care and efficiency by battling with technology, which also add to the recent rise in physician burnout.
The healthcare industry is undergoing a “complete revolution,” based on all the data about our health and wellness that is being collected on a daily basis, according to Kurt Roemer, chief security strategist at Citrix, global provider of server, application and desktop virtualization, networking, software-as-a-service and cloud computing technologies.
Lexington health care technology company said Thursday that it has acquired a small firm that makes a product with big potential: a palm-scanning patient identification system.
