A STUDY ON SECURITY ISSUES IN HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS USING MEDICAL WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK AND IOT

Aim: Now a day's, due to the change in the human food habits, environmental changes, and the industrial consequences the cause of the chronic disease was increasing rapidly. People want to check and monitor their health data regularly. It is a big annoyance and sometimes not possible to check their health condition by spending their time in hospitals. Similarly, the doctors also need to take care of their In-Patients (IP) and Out-Patients (OP) data. In order to reduce these, many healthcare smart devices were found and used by the people. The integration of these smart devices leads to Internet of Things (IoT). Already some secure IoT-based solutions were suggested by the researchers where the smart devices hold by the patients will deliver the patient health condition to the remote doctor securely by using the Internet. This study analyzes that system in terms of integration and security analysis. Result: The performance parameters like rate of malicious node detection and number of successful packets transfer were analyzed. Here IoT application is used to fields and it is very success full. Finally, the security loopholes of the existing system and proposed solution for that security threat were presented.
