Technology has greatly increased the availability of medical procedures in remote locations that are difficult to access, such as battlefields. Teleoperated surgical robots can be used to perform surgeries on patients over the internet in remote locations. A surgeon can remotely operate the robot to perform a procedure in another room or in a different continent. However, security technology has not yet caught up to these cyber-physical devices. There exist potential cybersecurity attacks on these medical devices that could expose a patient to danger in contrast to traditional surgery. Hence, the security of the system is very important. A malicious actor can gain control of the device and potentially threaten the life of a patient. In this chapter, the authors conduct a survey of potential attack vectors a malicious actor could exploit to deny service to the device, gain control of the device, and steal patient data. Furthermore, after the vulnerability analysis, the authors provide mitigation techniques to limit the risk of these attack vectors.

From Bluetooth enabled hearing aids to robotic caretakers, wearable and smart devices industries are immensely contributing to the development of the healthcare industry with the help of Internet of Things (IoT). Latest technologies like Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, Big data, Machine Learning, Advanced Sensors, Mobile Applications and other technologies will continue to generate lot of opportunities for Medtech organizations. Some of the latest healthcare innovations practiced at present might have been seen or read by some of us only in science fiction movies or science fiction stories a long ago. Presently, IoT and Artificial Intelligence is creating a revolution in healthcare industry when it comes to diagnosis and treatment of varied diseases. From smartphones to robots, artificial intelligence is already making its presence felt in healthcare industry and as such it is progressively recognizing the transformative nature of IoT technologies which drives innovation in the development of connected medical devices. Gradual increase in the number of connected medical devices with the advent of technology advancements helps to capture and transmit medical related data wherever and whenever required to the concerned people and thus, it gave birth to the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), where the Internet of Things (IoT) and healthcare meet. The IoMT helps to constantly monitor and alter (if required) the behvaiour of the patient and his/her health status in real time and also supports healthcare organizations to effectively streamline clinical processes, patient information and related work flows to enhance its operational productivity. The IoMT has made and continues to make the delivery of P4 Medicine (Predictive, Preventive, Personalized and Participatory) even for remote locations with the help of connected sensors and devices helping in real-time patient care. IoMT helps doctors and caregivers to provide patient care and support by constantly monitoring data related to patients through mobile apps and connected medical devices even when patient(s) or doctor(s) are located at remote locations. This research paper discusses about six use cases explaining how IoMT is applied in healthcare industry.

The Internet Of Things

At present, hospitals in our country have basically established the HIS system, which manages registration, treatment, and charge, among many others, of patients. During treatment, patients need to use medical devices repeatedly to acquire all sorts of inspection data. Currently, the output data of the medical devices are often manually input into information system, which is easy to get wrong or easy to cause mismatches between inspection reports and patients. For some small hospitals of which information construction is still relatively weak, the information generated by the devices is still presented in the form of paper reports. When doctors or patients want to have access to the data at a given time again, they can only look at the paper files. Data integration between medical devices has long been a difficult problem for the medical information system, because the data from medical devices lack mandatory unified global standards and have outstanding heterogeneity of devices. In order to protect their own interests, manufacturers use special protocols, etc., thus causing medical devices to still be the "lonely island" of hospital information system. Besides, unfocused application of the data will lead to failure to achieve a reasonable distribution of medical resources. With the deepening of IT construction in hospitals, medical information systems will be bound to develop toward mobile applications, intelligent analysis, and interconnection and interworking, on the premise that there is an effective medical device integration (MDI) technology. To this end, this paper presents a MDI model based on the Internet of Things (IoT). Through abstract classification, this model is able to extract the common characteristics of the devices, resolve the heterogeneous differences between them, and employ a unified protocol to integrate data between devices. And by the IoT technology, it realizes interconnection network of devices and conducts associate matching between the data and the inspection with the terminal device in a timely manner.

At present, the traditional healthcare system is completely replaced by the revolutionary technique, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Internet of Medical Things is the IoT hub that comprises of medical devices and applications which are interconnected through online computer networks. The basic principle of IoMT is machine-to-machine communication that takes place online. The major goal of IoMT is to reduce frequent or unwanted visits to the hospitals which makes it comfortable and is also highly preferred by the older people. Another advantage of this methodology is that the interpreted or collected data is stored in cloud modules unlike amazon and Mhealth, making it accessible remotely. Although there are countless advantages in IoMT, the critical factor lies in data security or encryption. A surplus number of threat related to devices, connectivity, and cloud might occur under unforeseen or threatening circumstances which makes the person in the situation helpless. Yet, with the help of data security techniques designed especially for Internet of Medical Things, it is possible to address these challenges. In this paper, a review on data securing techniques for the internet of medical things is made along with a discussion on related concepts.

Silicone-based tissue-mimicking phantom is widely used as a surrogate of tissue for clinical simulators, allowing clinicians to practice medical procedures and researchers to study the performance of medical devices. This study investigates using the mineral oil in room-temperature vulcanizing silicone to create the desired mechanical properties and needle insertion characteristics of a tissue-mimicking phantom. Silicone samples mixed with 0, 20, 30, and 40 wt. % mineral oil were fabricated for indentation and needle insertion tests and compared to four types of porcine tissues (liver, muscle with the fiber perpendicular or parallel to the needle, and fat). The results demonstrated that the elastic modulus and needle insertion force of the phantom both decrease with an increasing concentration of mineral oil. Use of the mineral oil in silicone could effectively tailor the elastic modulus and needle insertion force to mimic the soft tissue. The silicone mixed with 40 wt. % mineral oil was found to be the best tissue-mimicking phantom and can be utilized for needle-based medical procedures.
