Research on Data Security and Privacy Protection of Wearable Equipment in Healthcare

With the close integration of science and technology and health, the broad application prospects of healthy interconnection bring revolutionary changes to health services. Health and medical wearable devices can collect real-time data related to user health, such as user behavior, mood, and sleep, which have great commercial and social value. Healthcare wearable devices, as important network nodes for health interconnection, connect patients and hospitals with the Internet of Things and sensing technology to form a huge medical network. As wearable devices can also collect user data regardless of time and place, uploading data to the cloud can easily make the wearable device’s system vulnerable to attacks and data leakage. Defects in technology can sometimes cause problems such as lack of control over data flow links in wearable devices, and data and privacy leaks are more likely to occur. In this regard, how to ensure the data security and user privacy while using healthcare wearable devices to collect data is a problem worth studying. This article investigates data from healthcare wearable devices, from technical, management, and legal aspects, and studies data security and privacy protection issues for healthcare wearable devices to protect data security and user privacy and promote the sustainable development of the healthcare wearable device industry and the scientific use of data collection.
