IoT-based E-health system security: A vision archictecture elements and future directions

The application of IoT has become widespread across several industries such as logistics, smart homes, smart cities, e-health, and agriculture. IOT based E-Health Systems provides healthcare services across a series of interconnected networks and IoT devices. In such type of systems data security remains to be the major issue as the data generated from the E-health systems are accessed by the variety of users for medication, diagnosis, and research purposes. Even an outbreak of the single GB of the health data creates serious impacts as they are highly confidential in nature. Thus, an effective security measure across the IoT-based E-health systems has become the primary requirement. Further, the underlying architecture of the IoT-based E-health systems also greatly influences the data management and security issues. In this paper, we review some of the security considerations and challenges of IOT based E-Health systems. The proposed research work suggests efficient architecture models and access control algorithms for IoT-based E-health systems. As a result, a comparative analysis of various architecture elements and security measures are discussed, and the most appropriate techniques are suggested.
