Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) holds big promises for Health Care, especially in Proactive Personal eHealth. To fulfil the promises major challenges must be overcome, particularly regarding privacy and security. This paper explores these issues, discusses use case scenarios, and advances a secure architecture framework. We close the paper with a discussion of the state of various standard organizations, in the conviction of the critical role they will play in making eHealth bloom.
