Availability models for healthcare IoT systems: Classification and research considering attacks on vulnerabilities

Networked medical and healthcare devices and their applications are already creating an Internet of Medical Things which is aimed at better health monitoring and preventive care. But the new concepts and applying of new technologies bring certain risks including failures of devices, infrastructure which may lead to the worst outcome. This paper presents an approach to develop a Markov models set for a healthcare IoT infrastructure that allows taking into account safety and security issues. In addition, it is presented a case study with a Markov model considering attacks on vulnerabilities of the healthcare IoT system.
