A Privacy-Preserving Remote Healthcare System Offering End-to-End Security

Remote healthcare systems help doctors diagnose, monitor and treat chronic diseases by collecting data from Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) through base stations that are often located in the patients’ house. In the future, these systems may also support bidirectional communication, allowing remote reprogramming of IMDs. As sensitive medical data and commands to modify the IMD’s settings will be sent wirelessly, strong security and privacy mechanisms must be deployed.
