Join us for an evening of insights, innovation and networking as IoTBelfast returns to Ulster University’s Belfast campus for our next meetup in November: IoT Belfast 36: **IoT for MedTech**, in partnership with the **UU IEEE Student Branch and IEEE SMC Society.** This meetup will explore how the Internet of Things is transforming healthcare, from developing connected medical devices to making the AI and systems behind them more secure and trustworthy. We’ll hear about the real-world challenges of taking a medical IoT product from prototype towards clinical use, including sensors, connectivity, cybersecurity and regulation. We'll also explore edge computing, digital twins and trustworthy AI, looking at how connected healthcare systems decide which device data to trust and how AI-powered devices can be attacked and defended. **Live MedTech Demos - Come Along Early!** Whether you’re a developer, engineer, researcher, technology professional, student or simply interested in IoT, MedTech, cybersecurity or AI, **join us for practical insights from people working in the field, live MedTech demos, pizza and the chance to connect with Belfast’s IoT community!** **About the Speakers & Topics** **[Dr Rashid Kamal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rashid-kamal-494362b2/) \| Ulster University** **Bio:** Dr Rashid Kamal is a Lecturer in Computing at Ulster University. His Secure AI research looks at how AI systems in IoT and healthcare can be attacked, and how to protect them. He is Programme Committee Chair of MCETS 2026, a two-time Best Paper winner, and a NeurIPS reviewer. **Talk: *When Smart Devices Can Be Fooled: Adversarial Attacks on IoT AI*** **Description:** AI now runs inside cameras, wearables and smart sensors. But these models can be tricked. A small change in a signal, or a slight delay in timing, can make a device give the wrong answer. This talk shows real examples of such attacks on IoT and health devices, and explains simple ways to detect and defend against them. *
