Contemporary healthcare systems contain diverse computing devices that construct very complex systems to manage patients' data more efficiently. Connected computing devices, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) that may have limited processing powers, have contributed more than ever with the advent of wearable body area networks (WBAN). These devices are connected to other medical devices to share sensitive health data with corresponding entities like hospitals, research institutions, and insurance companies. Since health data are very sensitive, they should be always available to authorized entities and unavailable to other entities. Moreover, COVID-19 pandemic has added additional value to health data which case increases cyber-attacks on (Electronic health) E-health systems with different tools dramatically. In this paper, several cyber-attacks on Ehealth systems are explored. Particularly, we have focused on attacks to IoT based wearable health devices for body area networks. The paper contains the architecture of wearable health devices to show the potential attack surface. One of the main contributions of the paper is to present cyber-attacks on wearable e-health devices with ground robots. A tactical ground robot is portable devices that may be used to carry out several cyber-attacks on E-health systems. Moreover, the paper contains analyses of the attacks with ground robots.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
