Abstract:

Wearable Wireless Sensor Network (WWSN) users face privacy and security issues when they share their health data with health professionals. WWSN devices are connected using wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular data, and the like in IoT and Cloud. However, the information can be leaked due to security and privacy flaws in wireless connections. This paper focuses on identifying the significant reasons that can make sharing health data through wireless communication technologies insecure. Many researchers have extensively examined privacy and security issues. Many researchers have extensively examined privacy and security issues. Many applicable solutions have also been given. This paper employs a systematic review to collate relevant published research and analyze them to classify various privacy and security issues and solutions they have addressed. This study uses the PRISMA diagram as a screening process to identify papers relevant to the considered research questions. This work has identified the significant underlying reasons that can bring about privacy and security concerns in healthcare using wireless technologies. Moreover, it has highlighted the areas that need future examination and investigation to facilitate more widespread employment of wireless technologies in healthcare.
