Security and privacy issues in unified IoT-based skin monitoring system

Healthcare Sector is one of the most benefitted areas among all which gets the benefit of Internet of things. It allows the healthcare industry to work in a system, were it become possible to provide realtime, on demand quick medical care and services based upon individual's requirements. Skin Monitoring is one of the emerging field in healthcare, which is now been taken care of using IoT and Cloud integrated services. The systems permit skincare providers to diagnose and cure the disease by automatically collecting information from the advanced system. Fast decision making and preventive cure based on the data ensure early diagnosis and quick treatment. Connected devices in skin monitoring System can offer many advantages; however, being a part of network there is an increased risk to both to privacy and security. The paper proposes a layered architecture of a unified IoT-based skin monitoring system and discusses different outlooks towards existing security and privacy challenges within the systems.
