Emerging Threats and Countermeasures - Digital health is the convergence of digital technology in healthcare. The emerging technology and the use of innovations are needed in healthcare for advancements and better outcomes. With the use of innovations, new threats and challenges are emerging in the industry which needs to be managed for efficient operations.
Along with improvement of clouds, cloudlet and wearable devices, it becomes necessary to provide better medical information sharing over the internet. As we know, sharing medical information is very critical and challenging issue because medical information contains patient’s delicate information. The medical information sharing mainly includes collection, storage and sharing of medical information over the internet. In existing healthcare framework, patient asks health query/question which is being answered by multiple doctors. The user is provided with correct answer with the help of truth discovery method. The medical information and history of patient is directly delivered to the remote cloud. The paper proposes system to provide confidentiality of medical information and protect healthcare system from intrusion. In this proposed system, during the medical information collection stage, the Number Theory Research Unit (NTRU) algorithm is used to encrypt user’s vital signs collected various sensors. Then to protect medical information stored at remote cloud against the malicious attacks, a Collaborative Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) built on cloudlet mesh is proposed. Medical Knowledge Extraction (MKE) System is proposed to provide most reliable answer to the user’s health related query. MKE extract the medical knowledge from noisy query-answers pairs and estimate the trustworthiness degree and doctor expertise using truth discovery method.
Because putting patients’ needs first is essential in the healthcare industries, many healthcare systems
face health information technology (HIT) related challenges and a patient service dilemma.We will firstpresent
the patient service dilemma and provide a high-leveloverview of technologies that have increased the productivity,
efficiency in providing care, and clinical collaboration across their various healthcare campuses. Then, we will
suggest changesto current HIT practice that will enableHealth Systems to be Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant, while meeting the needs of patients, their expectations of care, and the
changing healthcare industry.

This paper aims to provide an understanding of the model and exploring options available for complementing the technology and infrastructure needs of Healthcare organizations.
This is particularly the case on e Health monitoring applications for chronic patients, Where Patients
monitoring refers to a continuous observation of patient’s condition (physiological and physical) traditionally
performed by one or several body sensors. The architecture for this system is based on medical sensors which
measure patients’ physical parameters by using wireless sensor networks (WSNs). These sensors transfer data
from patients’ bodies over the wireless network to the cloud environment. The system is aimed to prevent delays
in the arrival of patients’ medical information to the healthcare providers, Therefore, patients will have a high
quality services because the e heath smart system supports medical staff by providing real-time data gathering,
eliminating manual data collection, enabling the monitoring of huge numbers of patients. We underline the
necessity of the analysis of data quality on e-Health applications, especially concerning remote monitoring and
assistance of patients with chronic diseases.
The healthcare industry has traditionally been one of the slowest fields to adopt new technologies. This has to do with the fears around security and the privacy of patient data. Healthcare companies have always preferred to keep data behind a secure firewall or even onsite as opposed to maintaining it on something as intangible as the cloud.

A Proposed Security Architecture for Establishing Privacy Domains in Systems ...IJERA Editor
Information and communication technology (ICT) are becoming a natural part in healthcare. Instead of keeping patient information inside a written file, you can find all information stored in an organized database as well defined files using a specific system in almost every hospital. But those files sometimes got lost or information was split up in files in different hospitals or different departments so no one could see the whole picture from this point we come up with our idea. One of this paper targets is to keep that information available on the cloud so doctors and nurses can have an access to patient record everywhere, so patient history will be clear which helps doctors in giving the right decision. We present security architecture for establishing privacy domains in e-Health bases. In this case, we will improve the availability of medical data and provide the ability for patients to moderate their medical data. Moreover, e-Health system in cloud computing has more than one component to be attacked. The other target of this paper is to distinguish between different kinds of attackers and we point out several shortcomings of current e-Health solutions and standards, particularly they do not address the client platform security, which is a crucial aspect for the overall security of systems in cloud. To fill this gap, we present security architecture for establishing privacy domains in e-Health infrastructures. Our solution provides client platform security and appropriately combines this with network security concepts.
Personal Health Record over Encrypted Data Using Cloud ServiceYogeshIJTSRD
CBPHR Cloud Based Personal Health Record systems are used for storage and management of patient records. Cloud computing provides real time health care data in a convenient and cost effective manner. Due to the lack of visibility in cloud platform, the users are always concerned with data privacy and security. This is the main obstacle in widely adopting CBPHR systems in health care sector. The paper is discussing a cloud based patient health record management scheme which is highly secured. In this approach, indexes are encrypted under different symmetric keys and also the encrypted data indexes from various data providers can be merge by cloud without knowing the index content. It also provides efficient and privacy preserving query processing using a single data query submitted by the data user. Encrypted data will be processed by cloud from all related data providers without knowing its query content.

Whitepaper: Leveraging the Cloud to Enhance an Enterprise Imaging StrategyCarestream
What is the cloud's future in imaging?
Enterprise imaging strategies are front and center in healthcare IT these days. The increasing sophistication of imaging technology has resulted in substantial increases in imaging data. The upside of this increase is that clinicians have more imaging information available to aid in diagnosis and treatment. www.carestream.com/cloud
Healthcare information exchange using blockchain technologyIJECEIAES
Current trend in health-care industry is to shift its data on the cloud, to increase availability of Electronic Health Records (EHR) e.g. Patient’s medical history in real time, which will allow sharing of EHR with ease. However, this conventional cloud-based data sharing environment has data security and privacy issues. This paper proposes a distributed solution based on blockchain technology for trusted Health Information Exchange (HIE). In addition to exchange of EHR between patient and doctor, the proposed system is also used in other aspects of healthcare such as improving the insurance claim and making data available for research organizations. Medical data is very sensitive, in both social as well as legal aspects, so permissioned block-chain such as Hyperledger Fabric is used to retain the necessary privacy required in the proposed system. As, this is highly permissioned network where the owner of the network i.e. patient holds all the access rights, so in case of emergency situations the proposed system has a Backup Access System which will allow healthcare professionals to access partial EHR and this backup access is provided by using wearable IOT device.

Digital Health in Cloud Computing
Transforming or using the technology to enter your
health concerns and symptoms into a web or mobile
application with the insurance details and accessing that
information from anywhere around the globe securely
and safely is digital health in cloud computing.
4. Cont. Introduction
The future healthcare industry will be information-
centric that allows us to manage complexities. With
clouds, electronic health records (EHRs) are
maintained. These records need to be protected.
Unauthorized access, data theft, data manipulation,
phishing, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks are the
emerging threats of digital health with respect to
cloud computing (Maria, 2019). The confidential data
can be protected by securing the system with
authentication and authorization tools, transmitting
the data in encryption form, and using the trusted
cloud service providers.
5. Background and Literature
Review
The healthcare industry is converging with digital technologies to
increase the efficiency in their practices and make medicine
personalized to deliver quality healthcare. The reason behind the
growing demand for diverse medical care and additional resources is
the dramatic increase in average life expectancy.
The healthcare moved to cloud computing as they started generating
a significantly high amount of data on a regular basis. The data
generated by healthcare is important and needs to be preserved for
decision making and to provide good quality services to the patients.
The implementation of cloud computing is cost-effective, minimizes
the operation cost, and facilitates real-time data collection, data
storage, and transmission of data forcing the healthcare to shift the
operations over the cloud and implementing cloud computing
services in their organizations. The high volume of data is exchanged
by the healthcare organization in a secure and efficient manner with
clouds (Aziz, 2016).
6. Background and Literature
Review
Cloud computing in healthcare is a new concept and the use
of innovation and technology in this field could give rise to
emerging threats and challenges.
Traditionally the data was stored on a physical system
giving access only to the organization in a location.
To enhance the services there was a need to shift the data to
a more flexible system. Healthcare organizations decided to
opt for digital health and cloud computing and its
implementation provides flexibility in managing, accessing,
and transferring data on clouds.
The information of healthcare contains critical data of
patients including name, address, and medical history which
need to be secured. Cloud computing manages the privacy
and security of the data with authentication and
authorization tools.
7. Presentation of the Main Contribution of the Paper
The research is focused on the cloud computing and the emerging threats due to the
implementation of cloud in healthcare organizations.
The organizations has implemented clouds for the data processing.
The infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a
service (SaaS) are the three service models provided by cloud computing. The use of cloud
computing not only speeds up operations with easy management but also requires less
maintenance and is cost-efficient. It brings attractive benefits like remote storage, flexible
on-demand access, universal data access, storage management, and avoiding extra capital
expenses. It does not need any special hardware or software for its implementation and
maintenance (Arunkumar, 2017).

9. Presentation of the Main Contribution of the Paper
The cloud architecture ensures a safe environment for creating, storing, processing,
communicating, and managing the patient’s data. It is the responsibility of healthcare to
educate consumers about their role in security.
The security and privacy in healthcare are maintained by high-security measures,
government regulations, and rules, and comply with legislation to ensure the patient’s data
protection.
The digital health service providers come with built-in security measures in EHR.
The digital health includes tools to manage and monitor access in the system by creating
logs.
10. The below are few examples of the laws and enactments implemented in the different
countries:
11. Research Methodology

beneficial.
Methods of data collection:
1. Primary sources: Questionnaires, Interview
2. Secondary Sources:
Internet
Books/Brochure
Peer reviewed Articles
Websites
Applications
12. Research Methodology
This research is aimed at studying the digital health which is the convergence of digital
technology in healthcare and also their advancements that are implemented in digital health
to provide better facilities.
Expected Outcome from this research could be very beneficial as the future healthcare
industry will become diligent that will surely overcome all the complexities. The Records
will be saved on clouds and a better Electronic Health record would serve a patient in an
emergency. This research will lead to a positive outcome.
13. Results and Findings
It was found that the implementation of the cloud computing in the healthcare reduced the
time and operation cost of the organization.
Flexibility in providing services was achieved as it allowed universal access.
It provides access to the patients securely via unique identification number.
The EHR combined with cloud computing manage the complete information of the
patient’s resolving “Big data” problems.
The patient’s complete medical records are obtained and stored in a uniform manner that
reduces the wait time by making the reports available remotely
14. Results and Findings
The doctors, physicians, researchers, and statisticians, all can access the patients report
simultaneously even if they are miles apart to provide a better, secure, and faster service.
The data is stored on the networks in encrypted form.
The EHR uses different algorithm like AES, and homomorphic encryption algorithm to
encrypt the data stored in EHR.
Based on several permutation and linear transformations, the data is executed on blocks
transferring the plain text into encrypted text.
The AES is the standard for the government standards and high security system
(Arunkumar, 2017).
These algorithms can also be used to encrypt the medical images.
16. Limitations
Network connection dependency
Security and privacy of the cloud computing
Vulnerability
Limited control and flexibility to cloud
Customer lock-in Handle big data flood with intensive security and with highly skilled
hands in digital health. s
The awareness regarding digital healthcare is low when compared to other technologies.
Technological problems can cease the on-going process which may result in huge problems
in times of emergency cases.
Minor concerns like power cuts, power outages, loss of internet connectivity resulting in
disconnection with the cloud can also occur in such cases.
17. Conclusion
With cloud computing and digital health, numerous opportunities are offered to drive
health research, digitalization of healthcare industry and so on.
Privacy and security of the sensitive data of the patient is an utmost priority and a highly
secure connection costs a lot of expense to any healthcare organization.
various methods are used to prevent patient's privacy in healthcare including Attribute-
based encryption Access Control (AES), and Homomorphic encryption.
It provides effective solutions to the problem in digital health care and data security.
18. Conclusion
The digitalization of the healthcare industry promises to deliver many benefits, on the
contrary, it also raises some barriers and challenges.
It enables the organization to control the resources and provide the services accordingly as
full administration, or role-based access control.
Different cloud models like private, public, or hybrid clouds can be implemented based on
the requirement.
The digital health resolves the storage issue, security, privacy, flexibility, reliability, and
availability of data between the patients and the healthcare organization.
