BSN Care: A Secure IoT Based Modern Healthcare System Using Body Sensor Network
Advances in information and communication technologies have led to the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) In the modern health care environment, the usage of IoT technologies brings convenience of physicians and patients, since they are applied to various medical areas (such as real time monitoring, patient information management, and healthcare management) The body sensor network (BSN) technology is one of the core technologies of IoT developments in healthcare system, where a patient can be monitored using a collection of tiny powered and lightweight wireless sensor nodes. However, the development of this new technology in healthcare applications without considering security makes patient privacy vulnerable. In this paper, at first, we highlight the major security requirements in BSN based modern healthcare system. Subsequently, we propose a secure IoT based healthcare system using BSN, called BSN Care, which can efficiently accomplish those requirements.
