A Framework for Securing Saudi Arabian Hospital Industry: Vision-2030 Perspective

Recent transformation of Saudi Arabian healthcare sector into a reven-ue producing one has signaled several advancements in healthcare in the country.Transforming healthcare management into Smart hospital systems is one of them.Secure hospital management systems which are breach-proof only can be termed as effective smart hospital systems.Given the perspective of Saudi Vision-2030,many practitioners are trying to achieve a cost-effective hospital management sys-tem by using smart ideas.In this row,the proposed framework posits the main objectives for creating smart hospital management systems that can only be acknowledged by managing the security of healthcare data and medical practices.Further,the proposed framework will also be helpful in gaining satisfactory rev-enue from the healthcare sector by reducing the cost and time involved in mana-ging the smart hospital system.The framework is based on a hybrid approach of three key methods which include:employing the Internet of Medical Things(IoMT)and blockchain methodologies for maintaining the security and privacy of healthcare data and medical practices,and using big data analytics methodol-ogy for raising the funds and revenue by managing the bulk volume of healthcare data.Moreover,the framework will also be helpful for both the patients and the doctors,thus enabling the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia(KSA)to meet its goals of Vision-2030 by ensuring low cost,yet credible,healthcare services.

A Usability Management Framework for Securing Healthcare Information System

Transformation from conventional business management systems tosmart digital systems is a recurrent trend in the current era. This has led to digitalrevolution, and in this context, the hardwired technologies in the software industry play a significant role However, from the beginning, software security remainsa serious issue for all levels of stakeholders. Software vulnerabilities lead to intrusions that cause data breaches and result in disclosure of sensitive data, compromising the organizations’ reputation that translates into, financial losses andcompromising software usability as well. Most of the data breaches are financiallymotivated, especially in the healthcare sector. The cyber invaders continuouslypenetrate the E- Health data because of the high cost of the data on the darkweb. Therefore, security assessment of healthcare web-based applicationsdemands immediate intervention mechanisms to weed out the threats of cyberattacks for the sake of software usability. The proposed disclosure is a unique process of three phases that are combined by researchers in order to produce andmanage usability management framework for healthcare information system. Inthis most threatened time of digital era where, Healthcare data industry has bornethe brunt of the highest number of data breach episodes in the last few years. Thekey reason for this is attributed to the sensitivity of healthcare data and the highcosts entailed in trading the data over the dark web. Hence, usability managementof healthcare information systems is the need of hour as to identify the vulnerabilities and provide preventive measures as a shield against the breaches. The proposed unique developed model of usability management workflow is preparedby associating steps like learn;analyze and manage. All these steps gives an allin one package for the healthcare information management industry because thereis no systematic model available which associate identification to implementationsteps with different evaluation steps.

Public auditing for real‑time medical sensor data in cloud‑assisted HealthIIoT system

With the advancement of industrial internet of things(IIoT),wireless medical sensor networks(WMSNs)have been widely introduced in modern healthcare systems to collect real-time medical data from patients,which is known as HealthIIoT.Considering the limited computing and storage capabilities of lightweight HealthIIoT devices,it is necessary to upload these data to remote cloud servers for storage and maintenance.However,there are still some serious security issues within outsourcing medical sensor data to the cloud.One of the most signifcant challenges is how to ensure the integrity of these data,which is a prerequisite for providing precise medical diagnosis and treatment.To meet this challenge,we propose a novel and efcient public auditing scheme,which is suitable for cloud-assisted HealthIIoT system.Specifcally,to address the contradiction between the high real-time requirement of medical sensor data and the limited computing power of HealthIIoT devices,a new online/ofine tag generation algorithm is designed to improve preprocessing efciency;to protect medical data privacy,a secure hash function is employed to blind the data proof.We formally prove the security of the presented scheme,and evaluate the performance through detailed experimental comparisons with the state-of-the-art ones.The results show that the presented scheme can greatly improve the efciency of tag generation,while achieving better auditing performance than previous schemes.
