Smart Healthcare System Design: Security and Privacy Aspects

The purpose of this book is to help achieve a better integration between the work of researchers and practitioners in a single medium for capturing state-of-the-art IoT solutions in healthcare applications to address how to improve the proficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in healthcare. It explores possible automated solutions in everyday life, including the structures of healthcare systems built to handle large amounts of data, thereby improving clinical decisions; which is why this book will prove invaluable to professionals who want to increase their understanding of recent challenges in the IoT-enabled healthcare domain. The 14 chapters address various aspects of the IoT system, such as design challenges, theory, various protocols, and implementation issues, and also include several case studies.

Smart Healthcare System: Security and Privacy Aspects covers the introduction, development, and applications of smart healthcare models that represent the current state-of-the-art of various domains. The primary focus will be on theory, algorithms, and their implementation targeted at real-world problems. It will deal with different applications to give the practitioner a flavor of how IoT architectures are designed and introduced into various situations. More particularly, this volume consists of 14 chapters contributed by authors well-versed in the subject who are devoted to reporting the latest findings on smart healthcare system design.
