As the recent Jeep hacking incident  vividly demonstrates, the risks inherent in connecting things to the internet continue to grow and the impacts of those breaches are growing more serious.

If we make the assumption that everything can and will eventually be hacked, what are the ethics of building connected devices?

IoT means plugging into massively interconnected systems where the screen is no longer the driver of the experience and individual companies no longer have ownership. These systems will bring together disparate customers, data, devices and services in a fluid environment where devices and data sources become transitory and are dynamically added and removed based on the customers needs at a particular moment. 

IoT and digital health exist in an incredibly complex environment of overlapping complementary platforms and devices made even more complex by the number and variety of people and organizations participating in the delivery and consumption of data and services.
