> why can't these devices continue to help patients, but in a secure way

my guess is that they are subject to the usual security vs convenience trade off, that more security means more time and money spent gaining access to the devices for legitimate actors (e.g. nurses) which means some additional patient lives will be damaged or even lost.

of course, that may be well justified depending on how much dangerous or malicious hacking there is
