Light-weight Secure Data Transfer in Remote Healthcare System

Healthcare system is rapidly developing but the benefit of the most advanced healthcare service is mot of time limited to the high income patient living in limited geological area. Mobile technology is expected to mitigate this discriminating aspect of current healthcare service. There are numerous researches on providing or strengthening mobility for remote health monitoring system. The majority of them focus on developing medical applications helping the patients and the attached medical devices to transmit medical data to central data center in one way or require complex middle ware infrastructure for two-way communication. In this paper, we suggest a technique which is simple but effective and can provide the needed two-way mobile connectivity between the patient and the medical service provider. This technique does not require the complex middleware infra-structure of traditional mobile IP technology, thus can be applied immediately to current remote health monitoring system with slight modification in the patient side and server side applications.
