Securing Healthcare Data using IoMT

Subhabrata Khara et al.

This paper addresses the critical challenge of securing sensitive healthcare data transmitted through Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices. The research examines prevalent encryption schemes, secure communication protocols, and architectural models for protecting patient data in connected medical environments. Key contributions include a risk analysis framework and proposed enhancements to existing IoMT security models, with an emphasis on practical deployment in resource-constrained healthcare settings.
