“…Becker et al [185] showed that even with BLE address randomization, passive tracking is possible. Knackmuß et al [186] also explored unnecessary open port attacks, in which they used a packet sniffer tool to find an open port on a popular infusion pump. While open port vulnerabilities can be easily solved by having good product development practices, they pose a significant threat to wearables.…”

Wearable sensing technologies are having a worldwide impact on the creation of novel business opportunities and application services that are benefiting the common citizen. By using these technologies, people have transformed the way they live, interact with each other and their surroundings, their daily routines, and how they monitor their health conditions. We review recent advances in the area of wearable sensing technologies, focusing on aspects such as sensor technologies, communication infrastructures, service infrastructures, security, and privacy. We also review the use of consumer wearables during the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and we discuss open challenges that must be addressed to further improve the efficacy of wearable sensing systems in the future.

“…Lofty et al captured the network traffic between a smartwatch and smartphone and showed that it is possible to convert the HEX-encoded data to human-readable data using reverse engineering techniques [103]. A passive attack was accomplished to sniff the internal LAN on an infusion pump, which was integrated into the IT networks [94]. In this work, researchers found an open port in the infusion pump unit where the default password setting was not changed.…”

The recent advancements in computing systems and wireless communications have made healthcare systems more efficient than before. Modern healthcare devices can monitor and manage different health conditions of the patients automatically without any manual intervention from the medical professionals. Additionally, the use of implantable medical devices (IMDs), body area networks (BANs), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in healthcare systems improve the overall patient monitoring and treatment process. However, these systems are complex in software and hardware, and optimizing between security, privacy, and treatment is crucial for healthcare systems as any security or privacy violation can lead to severe effects on patients' treatments and overall health conditions. Indeed, the healthcare domain is increasingly facing security challenges and threats due to numerous design flaws and the lack of proper security measures in healthcare devices and applications. In this paper, we explore various security and privacy threats to healthcare systems and discuss the consequences of these threats. We present a detailed survey of different potential attacks and discuss their impacts. Furthermore, we review the existing security measures proposed for healthcare systems and discuss their limitations. Finally, we conclude the paper with future research directions toward securing healthcare systems against common vulnerabilities. CCS Concepts: • General and reference → Surveys and overviews; • Security and privacy → Systems security; • Applied computing → Health care information systems.
