MEDBOX: A RELIABLE e-CAREGIVER SMART SYSTEM USING IoT

Abstract

Advances in technologies of information and communication have led to the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT). In the modern health care environment, the IoT technology is used to bring the convenience of physicians and patients, since they are applied to various medical areas such as real time monitoring, health care management and patient information management. Medbox is one of the healthcare system in IoT technology, where the patient is monitored continuously using a collection of lightweight wireless sensors and to provide personalized medication. However the development of this IoT technology over health care systems affects the patient privacy.

In this paper, we highlight the major security requirements and avoidance of false alarms. Our aim is to obtain a device in order to achieve high quality, cost effective and secure patient-centric monitoring along with some potential solutions.
