Abstract

Introduction: Internet of Things is an extensive network of interconnected objects across the world, in which each thing has a unique address. IoT is considered as the future innovation in the field of wireless technologies, which would be used in certain areas such as healthcare services, medical operations, etc. Hence, security requirements are very essential in these technologies. This study aims at finding the most effective model of IoT to improve Security for managing telemedicine. Following its widespread applicability, security have attracted a lot of attention and also have brought about some new challenges over security, confidence, and privacy areas.
Methods: In this study, previous literature on how to improve the security in various layers of IoT protocol and resistance against the certain attacks in any layer for the telemedicine have been considered. Relying on previous studies made on the field of research, The Recommended Architecture of IoT for Telemedicine is the three-layer : perception, network, and application.
Results: Data Security along with how data are received completely in receivers with a minimum delay, which can influence the network, is a vital challenge one may find in telemedicine. The recommended method was RPL protocol in which telemedicine systems are used.
Conclusion: We need to pay more attention to the connection points employed to transfer data among all things, cloud and networks over the telemedicine and make them secure as much as possible.
