Remote patient monitoring and automated medicine delivery systems are among the latest healthcare technologies that have profoundly impacted the sector. However, these technologies have sparked heated debates about the safety, privacy, and honesty of patients. IoT drug delivery systems must safeguard the private health information of patients from online attacks, ensure that they receive the correct medicine dose, and constantly monitor their adherence to treatments.
This paper discusses a secure Internet of Things (IoT) framework capable of real-time sensing, smart device controlling, and secure connection making. The aim is to facilitate drug dispensing and patient compliance monitoring. The suggested framework consists of edge and cloud strata in addition to wearable or implantable medical devices. It safeguards patient information through multi-factor authentication, data encryption, and access granting policies.
In order to implement automated compliance monitoring, it is essential to know when patients take their medicines and how their bodies respond to them. This not only informs the doctor but also enables timely intervention. Automated drug delivery systems that comply with the secure IoT framework can be implemented both in homes and hospitals. Moreover, it safeguards patients and assures proper drug intake.
