Cybersecurity Technologies for the Internet of Medical Wearable Devices (IoMWD)

This book chapter presents several aspects regarding software and hardware vulnerabilities of the wearable medical devices, cyberattacks and security technologies for IoMWD, and cloud attacks. In the context of the increased confidence granted wearable devices for medical diagnosis or as a personal assistant for people with disabilities, a big problem is represented by the insured safety devices both at the level of the logic of data and hardware for correct operation of the wearable devices. The trust on these devices envisages this problem by people aged between 20 and 65 years in the context of the dull-witted market growth at almost 70 billion users of personalized medicine in 2025. Because personalized medicine through wearable devices involves network connection, IoMWD, sensitive personal data, and diagnostics or recipes, it is a massive risk in stealing personal data, disrupting networks, and corrupting communication in order to exploit the wearable vulnerabilities to damage the system and cause chaos. Also, for cyber threats, disruption-tolerant networking, data anonymization, and secure authentication could be used as mitigation.
