Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging field consisting of Internet-based globally connected network architecture. A subset of IoT is the Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT) that consists of smart healthcare devices having significant importance in monitoring, processing, storing, and transmitting sensitive information. It is experiencing novel challenges regarding data privacy protection. This article discusses different components of IoHT and categorizes various healthcare devices based on their functionality and deployment. This article highlights the possible points and reasons for data leakage, such as conflicts in laws, the use of sub-standard devices, lack of awareness, and the non-availability of dedicated local law enforcement agencies. This article draws attention to the escalating demand for a suitable regulatory framework and analyzes compliance problems of IoHT devices concerning healthcare data privacy and protection regulations. Furthermore, the article provides some recommendations to improve the security and privacy of IoHT implementation.

Highlights

  • The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that facilitates consumers by exchanging information with devices connected to the Internet

  • The System on Chip (SoC) is a device that integrates all components of a computer system, helps to normalize data collected from different sensors, and controls actuators based on applications

  • Devices, data servers, and monitoring devices. These protocols have security issues; IoT. These intermediate devices use multiple protocols to communicate with IoT endpoint degateways, smart hubs, mobile phones, and WiFi devices enable IoT devices to connect with vices, data servers, and monitoring devices

Summary

Introduction

There are some limitations andstructural missing aspects ofof healthcare data with some analysis, issues ofset theofhealthcare data and protection privacy laws that doand not compliance provide a particular instructions toprivacy protect IoHT data Uses a layered architecturethe to study of different components of the existing healthcare system in terms of security related highlight the data protection and privacy issues in the IoHT. It further identifies protecto data protection discusses possiblelayers pointsfrom of data leakage, missing aspects of healthcare tion and privacy issues at different technical and legal perspectives. There is a need to provide better medical facilities using an optimized healthcare system that includes body sensors and medical devices to remotely monitor and diagnose medical problems [20,21]
