Nowadays, IoT has crossed all borders and become ubiquitous in everyday life. This emerging technology has a huge success in closing the gap between the digital and the real world. However, security and privacy become huge concerns especially in the medical field which prevent the healthcare industry from adopting it despite its benefits and potentials. This paper focuses on identifying potential security threats to the IoMT and presents the security mechanisms to remove any possible impediment from immune information security of IoMT. A summarized framework of the layered-security model is proposed followed by a specific assessment review of each layer.

Healthcare Internet of Things (HIoT) is transforming healthcare industry by providing large scale connectivity for medical devices, patients, physicians, clinical and nursing staff who use them and facilitate real-time monitoring based on the information gathered from the connected things. Heterogeneity and vastness of this network provide both opportunity and challenges for information collection and sharing. Patient-centric information such as health status and medical devices used by them must be protected to respect their safety and privacy, while healthcare knowledge should be shared in confidence by experts for healthcare innovation and timely treatment of patients. In this paper an overview of HIoT is given, emphasizing its characteristics to those of Big Data, and a security and privacy architecture is proposed for it. Context-sensitive role-based access control scheme is discussed to ensure that HIoT is reliable, provides data privacy, and achieves regulatory compliance.
