Bio-Cybersecurity in Professional Wearables: Designing Secure Medical IoT Infrastructure for Enterprise Health Monitoring

Abstract

The collection, analysis, and repurposing of health data to enable continuous monitoring and preventive care has been transformed by the extensive use of professional wearable devices in healthcare and corporate environments. However, new cybersecurity threats are emerging from devices that are becoming more interdependent on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and this needs immediate attention. Examining the function of bio-cybersecurity in safeguarding physiological data produced by professional wearables, this article delves into the emerging and significantly important subject of bio-cybersecurity. It suggests a comprehensive overview of wearable devices, their applications in healthcare and occupational health, and the many cybersecurity threats they face, including data theft, illegal access, and device manipulation. The essay proposes solutions for regulatory concerns, secure system design, and stakeholder involvement in developing safe medical IoT settings based on worldwide standards and real-world examples of scenarios with accompanying analysis. At the end of the paper, we offer some potential solutions, like studying the current trend toward using AI, blockchain, and zero-trust architectures to keep patients' personal health information private and secure in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
