Abstract
The efficiency and accessibility of medical services have been greatly enhanced by the extensive usage of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the healthcare sector, particularly in telehealth. However, there are now serious cybersecurity risks as a result of this technological advancement. IoT device cyberattacks have the potential to compromise private health data, disrupt services, and potentially endanger lives. This study looks at how hackers target Internet of Things (IoT) devices in telehealth systems, which can range from smartwatches to hospital settings. The goal of the study is to identify the main weaknesses in telehealth systems that are enabled by the Internet of Things and suggest workable security solutions to counter these risks. The report offers insight into the intersection of cybersecurity and telehealth through an analysis of previous hacks, a review of existing security protocols, and expert interviews.
