Medical sensor capabilities in smart cloud networks: state-of-the-art approaches

In this chapter, the author addressed the important aspects of remote healthcare systems. In order to ensure secure communication and data transfer, various design issues and security challenges have been discussed in detail. Moreover, the author have presented a generic architecture for remote healthcare system that ensures better usability for the patient's community. Various design guidelines for WMSN construction and utilization have been considered for the outsourced medical data that claim to achieve integrity, confidentiality, and fine-grained access control. With the advancement of WMSN, the optimized network architecture can rapidly be opening enormous opportunities to the modern healthcare system. Subsequently, increased integration of extensive medical resources and wireless medical sensor technologies addresses the major challenges to meet the requirements of modern healthcare systems.
