ABSTRACT
The advances in information technology have witnessed remarkable progress in healthcare technologies in various domains nowadays. All concentration is on serving the individual needs while improving the efficiency of healthcare. The remote health monitoring cyber-physical systems (CPSs) consist of network-connected wearable sensors, actuators/controllers and devices that coordinate and collect data from the sensors and monitor their health. However, these remote health technologies have also made healthcare data larger and challenging to handle and process. Data created from various devices within a short time requires data to store in different formats and places, which can be considered a big data problem. This chapter discusses a security perspective of CPSs for remote healthcare monitoring applications and services called remote-healthcare CPS, and its built-in cloud and big data analytics technologies. We present a detailed empirical study about the domain, design and security analysis of the remote health monitoring CPSs. Additionally, we discuss future research directions and recommendations for securing health CPS.
