Security in Medical Devices using Wireless Monitoring and Detection of Anomalies

`Implantable and medical devices (IMDs) have been advanced with the advancements in engineering and medical science. IMDs are used for applying new therapies to patients, monitoring human body parameters and making diagnosis as per the monitoring result. Increased use of IMDs has enhanced the chances of attacks to them. Therefore, to make use of IMDs for various applications, they need to be secured. A system is developed to achieve the security. The system monitors various human body parameters wirelessly and detects anomaly if unauthorized node participates in communication. The system uses request response protocol in wireless communication. Experiments show that body parameters can be successfully monitored and signal characteristic can be used to detect anomaly.
