Unveiling Vulnerabilities: Development IoT-Enabled Health Bracelets Without Security Measures

Abstract:

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology to strengthen the health bracelets intended for senior citizens is the subject of this study. It seeks to thoroughly evaluate the efficiency of these wristbands in tracking physical activity and vital signs, evaluating their influence on health outcomes, and pointing out any potential drawbacks. The project uses an agile methodology to construct a unique Arduino device that uses sensors and IoT to monitor vital signs. It also integrates data analysis to identify the capacity of the device to response to user health issues. The device, named LifeGuardian, detects temperature and heart rate, giving important information about a person's general health. However, in the IoT, security and privacy for wearable devices are largely disregarded. It is essential to apply a systematic approach for security and privacy safeguards in the context of healthcare and remote health monitoring. This study adds knowledge on security and privacy of wearable smart health device of these IoT-enabled health bracelets for the elderly besides offers solutions for security and privacy.
