“…The unmanned aerial vehicle possesses sudden topology changes, fastest data transmission, next-hop selection and also eliminates the dissemination loops with the efficient routing mechanism in Flying AdHoc Network (FANET). Mucchi et al [74] explained the overview of security threats in WBAN, and this article differentiates the in or on-body architecture. Current trending factors such as secure mobile communication, cross-technology machine, physical layer security, cognitive radio, and block-chain plays a vital role in healthcare applications.…”

Body area network (BAN) connects sensors and actuators to the human body in order to collect patient’s information and transmitting it to doctors in a confined space with limited users. wireless body area network (WBAN) is derived from wireless sensor networks (WSN) and enables to transfer of the patient's information with a wide range of communication due to the limitations of the wired body area network. It plays a vital role in healthcare monitoring, healthcare systems, medical field, sports field, and multimedia communication. Sensors and actuators lead to high energy consumption due to their tiny size. WBAN facilitates in securely storing patient information and transmitting it to the doctor without data loss at a specific time. This review examines and summarizes methodological approaches in WBAN relating to security, safety, reliability, and the fastest transmission. Flying body area networks (FBAN) utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles for data transmission are recommended to promote rapid and secure communication in WBAN. FBAN improve the security, scalability, and speed in order to transmit patient’s information to the doctor due to high mobility.

“…Health data can flow from patient to cloud and from cloud to others (health operators) by using different channels (often wireless), which not always can be assumed secure. A trusted and secure domain for the health data should be assured, so that there is no segment which has a lower security then others [ 22 , 23 ]. In addition to classical cryptography, modern security techniques should be added, such as physical-layer security and crypto-key extraction from health signals in order to provide additional level of security and authentication of personal devices extracting the health data.…”

In the last years a large variety of eHealth services and Apps for professional medical users have been developed for different scenarios. The increasing elderly population (+100% in 2050) makes urgent to implement tele-medicine paradigm in the healthcare structures. The need of monitoring large number of patients distributed over the territory, together with the lack of medical resources, makes the adoption of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) crucial for the future healthcare services. This paper presents an ICT architecture model for the provision of tele-monitoring services within a novel proposed remote monitoring concept for healthcare, considering the new Family and Community Nurse (FCN). An integrated and personalized tele-monitoring solution is presented, through a detailed description of the reference network architecture and service platform. Moreover, the preliminary results of the experimental activities carried out for the evaluation of the system in terms of usability in operational scenarios are provided.

“…Além disso, as estruturas de dados da cadeia de blocos também são adequadas para coletar dados de sensores e aplicativos móveis, aprimorando a análise dos riscos versus os benefícios dos tratamentos, bem como dos resultados relatados pelos pacientes. Portanto, essa tecnologia é vista como uma solução promissora para futuros serviços de saúde [de Oliveira et al, 2019] e sua integração com as últimas pesquisas sobre segurança é crucial para a implementação de uma arquitetura de saúde segura que suporte serviços médicos avançados [Mucchi et al, 2019].…”

Sensor networks have become increasingly popular in healthcare due to the widespread use of cell phones and accessories capable of capturing medical data and the growth of remote patient monitoring initiatives. Medical data captured by sensors are sensitive and require the guarantee of authenticity, confidentiality, and privacy in the context of the Brazilian regulations, according to "Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados" (LGPD). Besides, the management and guarantee of medical data interoperability depend on the use of syntax and semantics following international standards. Therefore, the cloud computing and the Internet of Things are enabling tools for digital technologies to improve patient care. In this chapter, we present and discuss sensor networks' main concepts and the collection, processing, and protection of data from sensitive medical data. Resumo As redes de sensores têm se tornado cada vez mais populares na área de saúde devido à ampla disseminação dos celulares e acessórios aptos a captar dados médicos e ao crescimento de iniciativas de monitoramento remoto de pacientes. Dados médicos são considerados dados sensíveis e como tal requerem a garantia de autenticidade, confidencialidade e privacidade no contexto da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD). Paralelamente, a gerência e garantia de interoperabilidade de dados médicos dependem do uso de sintaxe e semânticas de acordo com padronizações internacionais. Assim, a utilização da computação em nuvem e a Internet das Coisas são facilitadores para o desenvolvimento de tecnologias digitais para melhorar o atendimento ao paciente. Considerando esse cenário, este capítulo apresenta e discute os principais conceitos relacionados às redes de sensores e à coleta, tratamento e proteção de dados de médicos sensíveis.
