Abstract

Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices in healthcare has revolutionized patient care, offering improved monitoring, diagnostics, and treatment. However, the proliferation of these devices has also introduced significant cybersecurity challenges. This paper reviews the current landscape of cybersecurity threats targeting IoT devices in healthcare, discusses the underlying issues contributing to these vulnerabilities, and explores potential solutions. Additionally, this study offers solutions and suggestions for researchers, agencies, and security specialists to overcome these IoT in healthcare cybersecurity vulnerabilities. A comprehensive literature survey highlights the nature and frequency of cyber attacks, their impact on healthcare systems, and emerging strategies to mitigate these risks.
