Data Security Approach in Remote Healthcare Monitoring (original) (raw)

In the context of an increased need to develop home care systems such as health monitoring systems, this paper presents an innovative system, namely Ro-SmartAgeing system. It represents a concrete, integrative, telemedicine solution, based on the collection, remote storage, and real-time processing of medical data. The Ro-SmartAgeing system reveals the potential of the emerging technologies, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, Big Data, and predictive analytics to induce a positive transformation of healthcare services offered to older people. This paper also focuses on the presentation of two fundamental security mechanisms, which are necessary in telemedicine, and which were employed in order to implement a secure flow of medical data within the Ro-SmartAgeing Integrated Information System.
