Privacy Issues in Smart IoT for Healthcare and Industry

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Intelligent Internet of Things for Healthcare and Industry

Part of the book series: Internet of Things ((ITTCC))

Abstract

The widening of the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare and industry opens new vectors of service. Specific in healthcare, IoT enhances patient measurement monitoring and data analytics. Thanks to automation, such devices collect, interpret, and make recommendations to the patient in a short time and with minimum engagement. However, focused on customer service, several security concerns are occurring. The damage caused by malware intrusion can be extremely high in case of affecting a person’s health and life. Besides, the privacy of data plays an important role in hiding the existence of any vulnerabilities that can be exploited. This chapter provides an overview of privacy issues and possible attacks in healthcare smart IoT, a discussion of responsible parties after data leakage and guidelines how to avoid them, and ways of enhancing privacy and security in the healthcare industry.
