“…Solutions to improve IoT security were proposed that included access control and management, awareness of information security by medical staff, physical security of IoT devices and data, network security, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, ingress/egress filtering, internet protocol security, secure Sockets layer/transport layer security and use of HTTPS to allow message encryption. Encryption can help to overcome the ubiquitous nature of the IoT that can result in compromise of a patient's privacy [31]. IoT security has been explored by considering the four-layer architecture of the IoT, i.e., application, middleware, network and perception layers [32].…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare has gained significant attention in recent years. This study demonstrates an adaptation of IoT in healthcare by illustrating a method of respiration rate measurement from a platform that simulates breathing. Respiration rate is a crucial physiological measure in monitoring critically ill patients. The devised approach, with further development, may be suitable for integration into neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to measure infants’ respiration rate. A potential advantage of this method is that it monitors respiration using a wireless non-contact method and could add benefits such as preservation of skin integrity. The paper aimed to assess the accuracy of an IoT-integrated ultrasound (US)-based method for measuring respiration rate. Chest movement due to respiration was simulated by a platform with a controllable moving surface. The magnitude and frequency of the movements were accurately controlled by a signal generator. The surface movements were tracked using US as a reliable and cost-effective technology. ESP8266 NodeMCU was used to wirelessly record the US signal and ThingSpeak and Matlab© were used to analyze and visualize the data in the cloud. A close relationship between the measured rate of the simulated respiration and the actual frequency was observed. The study demonstrated a possible adaption of IoT for respiration rate measurement, however further work will be needed to ensure security and reliability of data handling before use of the system in medical environments.

“…In case of abnormal rhythm, as required, the doctor may portably send signals to generate a specific amount of electrical shock to get the heart beating properly. [5] Researchers have been able to demonstrate how a malicious hacker can trigger the device to malfunction, or to intercept the signals from both ends delivering a dangerous shock, all of this without being caught.…”

The Internet of Technology (IoT) is an emerging technology in computer science society. IoT Internet based information architecture facilitate the exchange of information from one place/system to another place/system. The Internet of technology has the principle of providing an IT-infrastructure to exchanges of things in a reliable and secure manner in network. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a basic concept of linked/connected devices of all types over the Internet wireless or wired. The popularity of IoT has improved rapidly, as these technologies are use by many organizations for various purposes, including medical devices, network communication, education, business development and transportation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the connection of bodily devices as "things" that can communicate with other systems and devices through the Internet and exchange statistics (data or information), facilitating the exchange of data with other systems and devices. These devices have sensors, software, and various components designed to exchange data seamlessly within the IoT network. Securing and protecting the data transmitted over the Internet from unauthorized access is imperative to ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of the information. IoT Smart health monitoring systems, integral components of the IoT landscape, are susceptible to various attacks. These include denial of service (DoS), fingerprint, router, select, forwarding, sensor, and replay attacks, all of which pose significant threats to the security of these systems. As such, there is a pressing need to address and mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with IoT healthcare applications. This paper aims to explore the significant role of IoT devices in healthcare systems and provide an in-depth review of attacks that threaten the security of IoT healthcare applications. The study analyses the existing literature on the vulnerabilities present in smart health monitoring systems and the potential application of blockchain technology as a robust solution to enhance the security of IoT healthcare applications. This research reveals critical vulnerabilities in IoT healthcare applications and highlights blockchain's effectiveness in mitigating them, providing insights for robust security measures and strategic decision-making in secure healthcare systems. This paper provides valuable insight and recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners involved in the domain of the IoT healthcare system.
