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.

With the emergence of less invasive transcatheter valvular therapies, there remains a limited understanding of the feasibility and durability of these approaches in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta and whether they can offer a suitable alternative to conventional surgery. In this context, and with a focus on mitral repair, we report on a case of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta and conduct a comprehensive review of the characteristics and outcomes of reported osteogenesis imperfecta cases undergoing surgical or transcatheter mitral repair. Given the high burden of complications of surgery in this population, transcatheter mitral repair could potentially serve as a suitable alternative to conventional surgery in this challenging population.
