abstract="Background: Connected medical technology is increasingly prevalent and offers both a host of new therapeutic potentials and cybersecurity-related considerations. Current practice largely does not include discussions of cybersecurity issues when clinicians obtain informed consent. Objective: This paper aims to raise awareness about cybersecurity considerations for connected medical technology as they relate to informed consent discussions between patients and clinicians. Methods: Clinicians, health care cybersecurity researchers, and informed consent experts propose the concept of a cybersecurity informed consent for connected medical technology. Results: This viewpoint discusses concepts designed to facilitate further discussion on the need, development, and execution of cybersecurity informed consent. Conclusions: Cybersecurity informed consent may be a necessary component of informed consent practices, as connected medical technology proliferates in the health care environment. ",
