Securing Telemedicine and Remote Patient Monitoring Systems

Abstract

The objective of this study is to conduct a complete analysis of the security threats and hazards, measures and remedies, legal and regulatory framework, as well as future trends and challenges in the field of telemedicine and RPM. Telemedicine and RPM enable remote service delivery, improve access to current medical treatments, and promote quality care due to rapid technological advancement. Telemedicine and RPM provide many healthcare benefits, but infrastructure, privacy, lack of registrations and security, cost and technology access must be addressed to maximize their potential. Environmental, technological, and operational issues must be identified to provide appropriate privacy and security protocols. In order to surmount these challenges, it is imperative to implement policies and enhancements that bolster user training and the technical proficiency of healthcare practitioners. Additionally, employing techniques like quantum encryption to guarantee privacy and security, establishing legal regulations and standards, and fortifying internet connectivity are essential measures.
