Healthcare IoT Security: From Vulnerabilities to Trustworthy Systems

Abstract

New generation of connected healthcare systems has emerging digital technologies and medical science. They are converging more and more with time. This development delivers healthcare: it connects smart medical devices, analysis real-time data, and executes the make an advanced clinical decision. This progress creates more attached, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare ecosystem. With recent advancements in Internet of Things (IoT), continuous monitoring became possible. As well as predictive analytics and patient-centered care. On the other hand, with possible injury directly implicating patient safety and trust, growing requirement on Health-IoT (H-IoT) has carried critical security and privacy concerns. This chapter presents a brief overview of the H-IoT applied-systems. Device classification and architectural layers are also described. As well, fundamental security challenges are including: weak authentication, data integrity risks, and supply chain vulnerabilities. Then, real-world incidents and attacks in a infusion pump is discussed, following by an example of pacemaker recalls. Indeed, regulatory and ethical dimensions of H-IoT are discussed. Additionally, this chapter a survey reveals emerging solutions, such as blockchain, lightweight cryptography, zero-trust architectures, and privacy-preserving analytics and post-quantum security. Finally, this chapter concludes by some future oriented new IoT healthcare security.
