Abstract
A medical device monitor (MedMon), method and computer readable medium is disclosed. The MedMon is configured to operate in a system having communications between a first medical device associated with a patient and a second device. The MedMon includes a receiver configured to snoop on communications between the first medical device and second device. An anomaly detector having a set of security polices is configured to detect an anomaly by analyzing the communications between the first medical device and second device for compliance with the security policies. A response generator configured to generate a response on a condition that an anomaly is detected. The response may be a warning message configured to warn the patient. The MedMon may include a transmitter configured to transmit the response. The response may be a jamming signal configured to disrupt communications between the first medical device and second device.
