Security and Regulatory Challenges of IoT In Healthcare System

Internet stvari ili IoT je tehnologija je 21. stoljeća koja je u stanju unaprijediti poslovanje organizacija prednostima koje dolaze s njenom implementacijom. Međutim, s obzirom da se radi o relativno mladoj tehnologiji, koja je uz to još idejno zamišljena da zbog broja uređaja koji se treba instalirati bude što jeftinija, ona ima mnogo mana, uglavnom vezanih za sigurnost podataka. Te mane imaju poseban značaj kada se razmišlja o uvođenju IoT tehnologija u sustav zdravstva koji barata s osjetljivim podacima o svojim korisnicima. Danas postoji mnogo zakona i propisa kojim se pokušava zaštiti umrežene korisnike neovisno o tome koju digitalnu opremu koriste ali ukoliko se želi postići bezbrižnija budućnost u kojoj se uživa u blagodatima IoT tehnologije potrebno je unaprijediti postojeće i donijeti nove protokole i standarde za IoT kao što se radilo kroz povijest računalne i mobilne mreže.The Internet of Things or IoT is technology of the 21st century that is able to enhance the business of organizations with the benefits that come with its implementation. However, given that this is a relatively young technology, which is also conceptually designed to be as cheap as possible due to the number of devices to be installed, it has many shortcomings, mainly related to data security. These shortcomings are of particular importance when considering the introduction of IoT technologies into a healthcare system that handles sensitive data about its users. Today, there are many laws and regulations that try to protect networked users regardless of what kind of digital equipment they use but if they care to achieve a more worry-free future enjoying the benefits of IoT technology, it is necessary to improve the existing ones and adopt new protocols and standards for IoT as has been done throughout history of computer and mobile networks
