Towards Efficient and Secure Framework for Devices and Informatics for Internet of Medical Things

ABSTRACT

The healthcare system had been on high vigilant due to the sudden outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. This stimulated the need for a smart healthcare system for early diagnosis, prevention from spreading, treatment, and simplified living. Remote monitoring, telemedicine, and body sensors are certain areas where the adaptation of IoMT has proved to be a boon. The advancement in the technology for healthcare devices and their security has been challenging too. The sensor implanted, employed in remote healthcare are vulnerable to attacks, as well as, is resource constraint when used in an IoT environment. Privacy is the biggest issue with IoT, as all linked devices transmit data in real time. This paper proposes, the framework for utilizing blockchain model-based parameters that will be distributed in nature and prevent malicious attacks that may threaten healthcare applications. We also discuss the various vulnerabilities on IoMT devices and methods that are employed for authentication and secure access to medical records for IoMT healthcare management. © 2022 IEEE.
