Abstract |
The rapid evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud computing technologies presents transformative opportunities for developing advanced health monitoring systems. This paper reviews a foundational system architecture designed to facilitate real-time, low-cost, and secure patient monitoring, particularly suited for widespread deployment in the wake of global health challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. With the surge in wearable devices and remote healthcare platforms, there is a growing imperative to shift from traditional diagnostic tools?such as stethoscopes and sphygmomanometers?to integrated, digital health solutions. The study highlights the critical need for home-based systems that can support remote diagnosis and ongoing care, especially in resource-limited environments. While some groundwork has been laid by healthcare providers, the simultaneous application of IoT and Cloud technologies for medical emergencies in developing countries remains largely unexplored. This research underscores the urgency of addressing infrastructural limitations and cost barriers through innovative mobile health applications, offering a sustainable model for future healthcare delivery. |

Abstract |
Recent years have witnessed a widespread availability of electronic healthcare data record (EHR) systems. Vast amounts of health data were generated in the process of treatment in medical centers such as hospitals, clinics, or other institutions. To improve the quality of healthcare service, EHRs could be potentially shared by a variety of users. This results in significant privacy issues that should be addressed to make the use of EHR practical. In fact, despite the recent research in designing standards and regulations directives concerning security and privacy in EHR systems, it is still, however, not completely settled out the privacy challenges. In this paper, an Awareness Security Model (AWAR) is proposed to support the security fundamentals of healthcare systems such as the access control. Specifically, AWAR handles not only on the normal situations where the policies are applied according to the users roles but also the abnormal situations where users are permitted to override the access restrictions they assigned as responding to emergency or critical incidents. Moreover, because patients health data could be exposed during the transmission process to the medical server. It should be encrypted, so if any attackers/intruder get access to the data, attacker cannot disclosed it. To do this and motivated by the advantages of using symmetric encryption techniques, AWAR utilizes the AES encryption technique to encrypt the stored healthcare information. |
