Sensors and Wireless Communication for Medical Care present about Security and Safety, Technology and Type of Sensors, Privacy and Security of Network and Computer Systems, Measures of Safety and Security. | Sensors and Wireless Communication for Medical Care Anu Bhargava and Michael Zoltowski CERIAS and ECE Department Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 abhargav@ mikedz@ Presented by Anu Bhargava This research is supported by CERIAS security center and NSF REU grant of Prof. Arif Ghafoor and Mike Zoltowski. Security and Safety Medical care environments are vulnerable to malicious behavior, hostile setting, terrorism attacks, natural disaster, tampering. Computing nodes and sensors can be malicious, selfish, malfunctioning, or compromised. Challenge is to develop sensors that detect and monitor violations in medical care environments before threat to life occurs. Reliability, Security, Accuracy can affect timeliness and precise information for patient monitoring. Collaboration among physicians/nurses, pharmacies, emergency personnel, law enforcement agencies, government/community leaders over wireless network should be secure, private, reliable, consistent/correct and anonymous. Slide Technology and Type of Sensors Sensors and wireless devices have limited computation, communication, and energy. High rate of temporary or lasting failure. Tiny, inexpensive, mobile sensors are becoming available. Microsensors consist of 8-bit 4-MHz processors. Bio-sensors to detect Anthrax, viruses, toxins, bacteria uses chips coated with antibodies that attract a specific biological agent. Pattern changes result in alerts. Ion trap mass spectrometer aids in locating fingerprints of proteins to detect toxin or bacteria. Neutron-based detectors detect chemical and nuclear materials. Research is underway on sensor fusion, topology management, smart dust, scalability, and wireless communication issues. Characteristics of sensors include size, battery consumption, energy level, movement, position, redundancy, failure mode (failed, degrading, Byzantine).
