Abstract
Care robots represent an opportunity for the health domain. The use of these robots has important implications. They can be used in surgery, rehabilitation, assistance, therapy, and other medical fields. Therefore, care robots (CR)s, have both important physical and psychological implications during their use. Furthermore, these devices, meet important data in clinical applications. These data must be protected. Therefore, cybersecurity (CS) has become a crucial characteristic that concerns all the involved actors. The study investigated the collocation of CRs in the context of CS studies in the health domain. Problems and peculiarities of these devices, with reference to the CS, were faced, investigating in different scientific databases. Highlights, ranging also from ethics implications up to the regulatory legal framework (ensuring safety and cybersecurity) have been reported. Models and cyber-attacks applicable on the CRs have been identified.
Highlights
The cybersecurity (CS) in healthcare deals with the cyber risks in the cyber-systems used in the health domain
The European Parliament traced for the care robots (CR) the direction of the CS, highlighting that “possible applications of AI and robotics in medical care managing medical records and data, performing repetitive jobs, treatment design, digital consultation, virtual nurses, medication management, drug creation, precision medicine, health monitoring and healthcare system analysis, among other.” [11]
Among the the evident evident limitations limitations of that they are not designed for we find that: the first two delegate to that they are not designed for CRs) we find that: the first two delegate CS to healthcare providers, they can be found on the market
Summary
The cybersecurity (CS) in healthcare deals with the cyber risks in the cyber-systems used in the health domain. The European Parliament traced for the CR the direction of the CS, highlighting that (literally cited) “possible applications of AI and robotics in medical care (are) managing medical records and data, performing repetitive jobs (analysing tests, X-rays, CT scans, data entry), treatment design, digital consultation (such as medical consultation based on personal medical history and common medical knowledge), virtual nurses, medication management, drug creation, precision medicine (as genetics and genomics look for mutations and links to disease from the information in DNA), health monitoring and healthcare system analysis, among other.” [11]. The first section (paragraph 2: The position of the care robots in the studies) deals with the state of production of studies in this area. This is carried out through an analysis of the production of scientific literature. The second section (paragraph 3: Ethics, care robots and cybersecurity) deals with the impact of the ethical issues. The fourth section (paragraph 5: Cyber-attacks applicable to care robots) reports models and cyber-attacks
