Security Solutions for Pervasive Healthcare
نویسنده
چکیده
Pervasive healthcare systems use pervasive computing technologies, e.g., wearable medical sensors with wireless interconnects, to increase the modalities and spatiotemporal dimensions in which healthcare services can be provided for improving patient outcomes. Security is very important in pervasive healthcare systems to protect sensitive health information that it collects and manages; therefore, they have to maintain data confidentiality, integrity of data, and provide strong authentication features, thereby controlling unauthorized access of personal health information. This chapter presents an overview of security solutions for pervasive healthcare systems, focusing primarily on three aspects: 1) securing data collected by medical sensors, 2) controlling access to health information managed by the pervasive healthcare system, and 3) legislative framework available for securing healthcare systems.

Dependability Issues of Pervasive Computing in a Healthcare Environment
This paper proposes that the healthcare domain can serve as an archetypical field of research in pervasive computing. We present this area from a technological perspective, arguing that it provides a wide range of possible applications of pervasive computing technology. We further recognize that pervasive computing technology is likely to create concerns about the security of healthcare systems...

During the last decade, many countries launched ambitious Electronic Health Record (EHR) programs with the objective to increase the quality of care while decreasing its cost. Pervasive healthcare aims itself at making healthcare information securely available anywhere and anytime, even in disconnected environments (e.g., at patient home). Current server-based EHR solutions badly tackle disconn...
