“…Most of the accessible data on the internet is stored in cloud-based servers, and hence due to the high redundancies, they often become more reliable than local storage solutions. Not only cloud-based storage, due to the improvements in network latencies, it is also more suitable to use cloud-based processing [8] of data which may contribute to lowering the cost of the equipment. Nowadays, many companies supply cloud server storage services for free (up to a specific limit of data size).…”

The internet of things (IoT) has been widely identified as one of the best solutions to make a smart life for human beings. Moreover, it can also be applied to alleviate the pressures on healthcare systems that improve the access and quality of care and essentially reduce the cost of care. This research presents a method to apply the IoT health monitoring method to hospital wings and make a much-developed smart healthcare service that is more comfortable and safer, especially in a pandemic situation. This paper proposes a real-time monitor system consisting of healthcare wearables such as BPM (beats per minute) meter, body temperature meterand central communication hub. This research mainly focuses on making a more comfortable health monitoring system compared to other modern-day systems. Moreover, the purposed system consisted of several data presentation methods for easier data analyzing on the patient.

“…Meanwhile, Catarinucci, et al [22] and Amendola, et al [23] enhanced the security of their IoT model by integrating sensor classification layers such as radio frequency identification (RFID), ultra-high frequency (UHF) and wireless sensor networks (WSN). Another group of researchers suggested self-monitoring healthcare devices be utilized in hospitals [24][25][26]. Such a device may use encryption technology in transferring data and securing data with some enhanced security protocols.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) is predicted as one of the biggest emerging environments in the future that creates simultaneous smart communication between machines or a variety of digital devices. Besides improving how data can be controlled, monitored and collected, IoT also allows us to generate revenue through the identifying of new business opportunities and deployment of advanced analytics processes for decision-making purposes. IoT enables us to accelerate changes in the healthcare environment in improving patient engagement and outcome, as well as transforming healthcare from reactive to proactive accessibility. Nevertheless, IoT’s expansion brings new vulnerabilities, risk and security challenges for healthcare practitioners and their patients. However, there is still a lack of study focusing on IoT risk management in healthcare. Existing researches tend to focus only on the implementation of IoT peripherals in a healthcare environment and tend to embed the secured applications solution with it. Since healthcare information and data are highly confidential, it is important to ensure that a secured health IoT application is in place. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the IoT risk management aspects in a healthcare environment with particular attention to proposing a step-by-step process of an IoT risk management model. The proposed IoT risk management model was developed leveraging on DEMATEL IoT Risk Assessment Procedure. This study was conducted based on a case study of one hospital in Sudan which has recently invested in IoT technologies in their operation. Interviews were conducted with selected respondents from the hospital and findings suggested that the selected case study does not have an established IoT risk management mechanism due to the ad-hoc IoT implementation approach. The case study also lacks of protection for health data and information with several unclear work process. As a solution, this study proposes an enhanced IoT risk management model for healthcare with consideration of three risk categories; 1) Secured Technology, 2) Human Privacy and 3) Trustable Process and Data. The proposed model was then evaluated by three IoT experts and two IT healthcare practitioners based on System Usability Score (SUS) and received Good Usability score which means the model is usable as a healthcare IoT risk management model.
