Highly Secured IoT Based Health Care System for Elderly People using Body Sensor Network

It is very important to monitor various medical parameters and post operational data. To access the patient’s medical parameters in local and remote area, healthcare communication using Internet of Things (IoT) method is adapted. The main objective of this project is to transmitting the patient’s health monitoring parameters through wireless communication. These input data are uploaded in cloud server and transmitted to the computer and mobile for family and doctor’s reference. 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 tinypowered 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.
