Development of Secure IoT Ecosystems for Healthcare

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly developing field of technology which entails a network of smart devices connected to each other and the internet. The TATCRB2industry is anticipated to increase by 18% to 14.4 billion active connections in 2022. There will likely be about 27 billion linked IoT devices by 2025 as supply limitations, brought about by the current global semiconductor and chip shortage - loosen and demand quickens. IoT has quickly penetrated the healthcare industry, this paper defines a framework that enables the development of secure and scalable IoT healthcare platforms/applications. These platforms will also allow for secure cloud storage and analysis of patient data, helping professionals recognize latent parameters such as patient behavioral patterns that contribute to an ailment. This ultimately will enable the study of social and economic impact of a particular disease. This will greatly cull the survivorship bias in the health care industry - especially in testing times like a pandemic.
