The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) emerges with new trendsetter device applications, where it defines the incorporation of medical devices with the Internet of Things (IoT). The healthcare sector continues to encounter challenging obstacles that have an impact on the quality of treatment provided to patients. To get rid of this problem, IoMT is being deployed to achieve the high reliability and efficiency of the health system. The IoMT devices are superimposed with clinical information as they contain the details of patient health data, address, and other patient identifiers. By containing such amount of sensitive information, it becomes cumbersome to preserve data privacy and security. Due to inadequate security and privacy precautions, patient health data is susceptible to leakage, which has a direct impact on the patient’s life. In addition, the majority of medical devices are susceptible to cyberattacks, putting patient information at risk. Inadequate control of life-support equipment can have a devastating effect on patient outcomes. Thus, this survey intends to review the various security models of IoMT devices using standard techniques to support health care systems. It provides a wide range of literature reviews regarding IoMT systems and compares them with traditional methodologies. This review work exhibits the motivation for current technologies to maintain the security and privacy of patients’ data with IoMT devices. The systematic review entails background on security in IoMT devices, techniques for security, usage of diverse validation measures, and also discusses the problems and motivation for future research work.
The population aging has facilitated a growing number of welfare technologies and smart home solutions. These technologies enable clinical staff and health care professionals to provide health services in an intelligent way with the trend of patient-centric digital health platforms. As one of the health services, response center service is facing new challenges when connected with welfare technologies, such as false alarms, security threats, privacy leakage, etc. This paper introduces the mechanism of the response center and the role it plays in healthcare. We conduct an exploratory study to find out the benefits and challenges of the response center service from the results of a structured interview. Based on the findings, we identify the required services to improve the intelligent response center mechanism
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
