Abstract

Healthcare IoT (HIOT) or electronic health (e-health) is an emerging paradigm of IoT in which multiple bio-sensors are capturing body vitals and disseminating captured information to the nearest data center through the underlying wireless infrastructure. Despite the observation of such rapid research and development trends in e-health field with its key facets (i.e., sensing, communication, data consolidation, and delivery of information) and its inherent benefits (e.g., error reduction, homecare, and better patient management), it is still facing several challenges. These challenges are ranging from development of an interoperable e-health framework to design of an attack free security model for both data and device. In this article, an overview of recent technological trends in designing HIoT privacy preservation framework is provided, and the corresponding security challenges are discussed subsequently. Alongside, we also propose an architectural framework for monitoring health vitals of differently abled or a patient with degenerative chronic disorder. The interaction of application components is illustrated through the help of different use-case scenarios.
