Hospital equipment is a sector where we need to push strongly for open solutions. Besides their own security, they are putting people's life in danger.

It's a sector where there needs to be a push for software/hardware quality, period! One of my former coworkers from years ago used to write software for medical equipment. The software ran on the cheapest Windows boards the company could find. There was no standardization apart from window dressing. Attitude of management was to just get it out the door, and it would be fine.
