IoT security is notoriously lax leading to headline grabbing attacks that seed fear among consumers and threaten adoption. Typically, only nine percent of vendor budgets go on security implementation and testing. Even if we allow for the fact this low figure may be due to security being outsourced, it’s clear that security is too often, a secondary consideration with production and time-to-market dictating spend.

Though often used as synonyms, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is really the controlling of radiated and conducted Electromagnetic Interference (EMI); and poor EMC is one of the main reasons for PCB re-designs. Indeed, an estimated 50% of first-run boards fail because they either emit unwanted EM and/or are susceptible to it.

As part of the UK’s Healthcare Technologies strategy, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council launched a competition in 2016 to identify promising research projects addressing challenging issues. Among the eight winners, announced in 2017, were Dr Rylie Green of Imperial College London and Dr Frankie Rawson of the University of Nottingham.
Dr Green’s efforts centre on implantable polymer bioelectronics for devices such as bionic eyes and cochlear implants. Her aim is to create a soft and flexible conducting polymer.
