This comprehensive review paper explores the intricate integration of biosensors with multi-hop Internet of Things (IoT) systems, representing a paradigm shift in healthcare through real-time remote patient monitoring. The strategic deployment of biosensors in different locations in medical facilities, intricately connected to multiple microcontrollers, serves as a cornerstone in the establishment of robust multi-hop IoT networks. This paper highlights the role of this multi-hop IoT network, which efficiently facilitates the seamless transmission of vital health data to a centralized server. Crucially, the utilization of cloud connectivity emerges as a linchpin in this integration, providing a secure and scalable platform for remote patient monitoring. This cloud-based approach not only improves the accessibility of critical health information but also transcends physical limitations, allowing healthcare providers to monitor patients in real-time from any location. This paper highlights the transformative potential of this integration in overcoming traditional healthcare limitations through real-time remote patient monitoring.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has positioned itself globally as a dominant force in the technology sector. IoT, a technology based on interconnected devices, has found applications in various research areas, including healthcare. Embedded devices and wearable technologies powered by IoT have been shown to be effective in patient monitoring and management systems, with a particular focus on pregnant women. This study provides a comprehensive systematic review of the literature on IoT architectures, systems, models and devices used to monitor and manage complications during pregnancy, postpartum and neonatal care. The study identifies emerging research trends and highlights existing research challenges and gaps, offering insights to improve the well-being of pregnant women at a critical moment in their lives. The literature review and discussions presented here serve as valuable resources for stakeholders in this field and pave the way for new and effective paradigms. Additionally, we outline a future research scope discussion for the benefit of researchers and healthcare professionals.

“…One of the factors that drive the vulnerability of the healthcare sector to cybersecurity attacks is advancements in new technologies and the pressure on the sector to adopt them at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic (Petracca et al, 2020). The adoption of technologies like MIoT (Sadek, Codjo, Rehman, & Abdulrazak, 2022;Sun et al, 2018), cloud computing (Ali, Shrestha, Soar, & Wamba, 2018;Dang, Piran, Han, Min, & Moon, 2019), big data (Abouelmehdi, Beni-Hessane, & Khaloufi, 2018;Jagadeeswari, Subramaniyaswamy, Logesh, & Vijayakumar, 2018), and m-health apps (Galetsi, Katsaliaki, & Kumar, 2022;Magrabi et al, 2019) have opened healthcare data to cyberattacks.…”

“…Although technologies like MIoT can facilitate personalized medical care, the interconnection of medical devices and transmission of healthcare data over the internet expose data and medical devices to cyberthreats (Sadek et al, 2022;Sun et al, 2018). Some of these threats include selective forwarding, sinkhole, jamming, and flooding attacks (Sadek et al, 2022;Sun et al, 2018). The nature of healthcare service dictates that healthcare organizations process large volumes of sensitive healthcare data (Bhuyan et al, 2020).…”

The incidence of cyberattacks on healthcare institutions has seen a steady increase over the years, with a massive increase of 42% in 2020. More specifically, INTERPOL reported a substantial increase in ransomware attacks on healthcare institutions at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. This increase can be attributed to the rise in the adoption of digital technologies, such as the Medical Internet of Things (MIoT), to support healthcare services. The sensitive nature of healthcare data and the volume of data handled by healthcare institutions make them attractive to cybercriminals. When compared to financial data, healthcare data has more value on the dark web. Because a cyberattack on healthcare data could have far-reaching consequences, healthcare institutions should have effective strategies to safeguard unauthorized access. This paper presents the results of a systematic literature review (SLR) that investigated the strategies that can be used to mitigate cybersecurity threats to healthcare data. Forty-one research papers retrieved from three databases were analyzed based on specific inclusion/exclusion criteria. Synthesis of the sources yielded three main themes, namely, (i) emerging technology trends that contribute to cybersecurity vulnerability in the healthcare sector, (ii) current cybersecurity challenges in the healthcare sector, and (iii) cybersecurity countermeasures and mitigation strategies. The research results showed that a holistic approach that incorporates people, technology and adherence to regulations is required to mitigate cybersecurity threats in the healthcare sector. The study has implications for policymakers, vendors/designers of healthcare technologies, and healthcare institution managers.
