Abstract

The healthcare system has evolved from traditional healthcare to smart healthcare with relentless research in the last few decades. The importance of the smart healthcare involving telemedicine, connected health, and mobile health cannot be overstated. Smart healthcare built using Internet-Medical-Things (IoMT) is a key component in smart cities and smart villages which can provide effective and optimal healthcare to the patients even with limited healthcare personnel. Smart healthcare is further expanding with the help of healthcare Cyber-Physical System (H-CPS) that integrates IoMT, electronic health record (EHR), and artificial intelligence (AI). H-CPS consists of various components including, biosensors, body sensors, electronics, wearables, implantables, networks, middleware, firmware, software, EHR, and AI. The integrated technologies like IoMT, connectivity, and AI bring additional challenges to H-CPS including attacks on IoMT-devices, healthcare data, and counterfeit medicines. This talk will present detailed insight of IoMT based smart healthcare built as a H-CPS. It will discuss the cybersecurity challenges and solutions specific to the H-CPS/IoMT. The talk will address many questions about smart healthcare including: (1) What is H-CPS/IoMT? (2) What are the challenges of H-CPS/IoMT? (3) What are the cybersecurity solutions for H-CPS/IoMT? (4) What is Security-by-Design for H-CPS? (5) What are SbD solutions for H-CPS? (6) How to ensure counterfeit-free pharmaceutical supply chain?

Speaker Biography

Dr. Saraju P. Mohanty is a Professor at the University of North Texas. Prof. Mohanty’s research is in “Smart Electronic Systems” which has been funded by NSF, SRC, US Air Force, IUSSTF, and Mission Innovation. He has over 20 years of research experience on security and protection of media, hardware, and system. He introduced the Secure Digital Camera (SDC) in 2004 with built-in security features designed using Security by Design (SbD) principle. He is widely credited as the designer for the first digital watermarking chip in 2004 and first the low-power digital watermarking chip in 2006. He has authored 450 research articles, 5 books, and 10 granted and pending patents. His Google Scholar h-index is 53 and i10-index is 226 with 12,000 citations. He is a recipient of 16 best paper awards, Fulbright Specialist Award in 2020, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society Outstanding Service Award in 2020, the IEEE-CS-TCVLSI Distinguished Leadership Award in 2018, and the PROSE Award for Best Textbook in Physical Sciences and Mathematics category in 2016. He has delivered 16 keynotes and served on 14 panels at various International Conferences. He has been serving on the editorial board of several peer-reviewed international journals, including IEEE Transactions on Bigdata, IEEE Transactions on CAD as well as EiC of IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine. He served as the Chair of the IEEE-CS Technical Committee on VLSI (TCVLSI) during 2014-2018 and served on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society during 2019-2021. He is the steering committee chair/vice-chair for the IEEE International Symposium on Smart Electronic Systems (iSES), the IEEE-CS Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI), and the OITS International Conference on Information Technology (OCIT). He has mentored 3 post-doctoral researchers, and supervised 15 Ph.D. dissertations, 26 M.S. theses, and 12 undergraduate projects.
