Abstract
Healthcare has been grown into a new paradigm because of Telemedicine. Hence patients get easy access of teleconsultations for diagnosis and treatments. Patients get numerous benefits in practicing telemedicine when there is a need of an immediate consultation, being anywhere. In this paper, through wireless body area network, telemedicine has been investigated and practiced for remote patients constantly being monitored. The medical records of patients are stored very carefully in the cloud. The doctors create a network who can respond to emergency conditions of patients. Here, three different parameters viz., blood viscosity, blood pressure and blood sugar level are measured, constantly monitored, and sent to cloud for storage and analysis. Then, for emergency condition, on the spot treatment is given after teleconsultation, by the doctor near the patient's locality; otherwise teleconsultation alone is given. The healthcare professionals at the care centers have remote monitoring capability as well as registers patients for storing and monitoring health information anytime, anywhere. Security during teleconsultation is also possible as the data are stored in cloud. Cloud gives dynamic, scalable and portable infrastructure. This is achieved through the use of trusted software, compliance understanding, lifecycle management, portability, continuous monitoring, and choice of right people. It is possible through secure log-in access, risk tolerance, cost-benefit analysis giving protection to data, applications and infrastructure. There is high-level security like avoiding attack, no unauthorized leaks and exposure of data and no weak access of control. This is achieved through data-centric approach where the data is encrypted and strengthened through the authorization process of requiring strong passwords and two factor authentication. © 2019 Procedia Computer Science.
