In-Device Intelligence: Empowering Smart Medical and Surgical Devices with JavaCard-Based Secure Elements (jNet)

Presenter: Mikhail Friedland, CEO, jNet
Biography: Mikhail is a technical visionary and hands-on developer with extensive experience and emphasis on high-assurance, scalable, secure Java Card/GlobalPlatform OS and Java Card Applets.  He has extensive hands-on experience in strategic planning, building cross-functional R&D teams, new product definition, and positioning. 

Over the years Mikhail has been responsible for technical leadership of several EMVCo, FIPS 140-3, and Common Criteria OS certification teams, designed the architecture of Javacard VM OS internal modules, cryptography & authentication algorithms, payment systems, IoT platforms on SoC devices, MoC Biometric SDK integration and Java native package APIs, Java class libraries for sensors abstraction and events processing at the edge.

Webinar Overview: The next wave of medical and surgical technology is taking shape inside the devices themselves. From precision surgical tools to remote health monitors and advanced implants, the focus is shifting toward embedding intelligence and security directly at the point of care. As connected healthcare systems grow more autonomous and data-driven, the ability to process, protect, and act on information within the device has become essential.

This webinar will explore how JavaCard technology brings secure, flexible, and upgradeable intelligence right into the heart of next-generation medical and surgical devices.
Across the industry, regulators like the FDA—along with global standards bodies—are tightening expectations around cybersecurity, data integrity, and patient privacy. JavaCard-based secure elements meet these demands by combining proven cryptography, strong authentication, and trusted key management within tamper-resistant hardware. Yet their true strength lies beyond security alone: JavaCard’s modular applet architecture enables real-time decision support, dynamic credential control, biometric validation, and even blockchain anchoring—all running securely within each device.

Why JavaCard Matters in Healthcare
– Trust inside every device. Runs certified applets for patient identity, digital signatures, and confidential data handling—even on constrained embedded platforms.
– Secure from the factory to the field. Supports device attestation and full lifecycle management, covering factory initialization, hospital deployment, and over-the-air software updates.
– Built for compliance and adaptability. Lets OEMs and authorized partners deliver post-market updates to meet evolving cybersecurity and regulatory requirements.
– Purpose-built APIs. Offers secure biometric functions, monotonic counters for audit trails, and cryptographic services for real-time encrypted data transfer, i.e. all aligned with ISO 7816 and modern medical device regulations.
– AI-ready at the edge. Enables on-device AI and machine learning validation, so data can be analyzed and trusted locally before it ever reaches the cloud.

What You’ll See in This Session
– Remote patient monitors (ECG, glucose, oximeters) that protect sensitive data—even when offline.
– Smart surgical tools and implants capable of verifying credentials, ensuring traceability, and encrypting OR-to-cloud communications.
– Hospital networks integrating JavaCard-powered components for interoperability between EHRs, access cards, and regulated systems.

No matter your role—whether you’re an architect designing connected devices, a regulatory specialist, or a medical innovator—this session will show how JavaCard technology is redefining in-device intelligence. Discover how to build medical and surgical systems that are secure by design, upgradeable by intent, and resilient for the AI-driven healthcare era.
