IRJET-Internet of Stings: Securing Healthcare Records Applying Internet of Things (original) (raw)

— This paper investigates the role of Internet of Things(IoT) in securing Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs). Personal health record (PHR) has emerged as a patient centric model of health information exchange. Day by day health issues and health problem concerns are increasing. So many people are facing health problems and are getting admitted in to the health care centers. So to maintain the details of all the patients in a hospital is a difficult task. Hospitals have to maintain the records of each and every inpatient. In some cases patients may even have to wait for long time to consult the doctor. Also if the concerned doctor is not available in the hospital then the nurses have to call him and ask the related queries according to the inpatients condition. A PHR service allows a patient to create, manage and control her personal health data in one place through the web, which has made the storage, retrieval and sharing of the medical information more efficient. Especially each patient is promised the full control of their medical records and can share her health data with a wide range of users, including healthcare providers, family members or friends. In this paper we provide a description of how the internet of things can be supported to ensure security for distributed health care applications. This paper would promote a lot of research in the area of application of IoT in securing PHRs.
