Thursday, 9 October, 2025

In this episode of What’s Up Public Health, host Maria Valdez sits down with Phil Englert — clinical engineer and medical device cybersecurity expert — to uncover a critical but often overlooked topic in healthcare: cybersecurity. Together, they explore how cyber threats put patient safety at risk, the evolution of healthcare technology, and the lasting impact of the HITECH Act. From real-world data breaches to the importance of cross-sector collaboration, this conversation dives into what it truly takes to keep patient information — and healthcare systems — safe in the digital age.
