Abstract

The e-healthcare systems provide many services to the patients and the users, including patient health record management, remote patient monitoring, and emergency response system. Nowadays, many e-healthcare systems include emergency care, but the services can only be available to registered patients. Ansari et al. recently proposed a secure and privacy-preserving framework for e-healthcare systems. The emergency phase of the framework provides emergency care only to patients with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). This paper extends the above framework to include unregistered patients for emergency care and registered patients without WBAN. The proposed scheme uses hash functions and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to provide mutual authentication and security, and it is evaluated using the AVISPA tool and traditional security analysis. The result of security analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the suggested scheme is protected from all known attacks.
