Chapter Abstract:

The objective of e-health is to assist patients in improving health care through integrating a wireless body network, communication infrastructure, and hospital network. The patient monitoring system assists patients in better understanding their health daily. The mobility and dynamism offered by e-health services expose the health system to the risk of attacks and intrusions. However, securing patient information and confidentiality is essential to ensure quality care. Current research on security in e-health focuses on implementing authentication, encryption, and trust-based solutions for implanted and wearable medical devices. These solutions are often computationally expensive and challenging to implement on medical devices with limited resources. This paper proposes a novel intrusion detection system based on agent technology to protect patients' medical data. The proposed method detects network-level intrusions as well as anomalies in sensor data. Our model was experimented with by simulating a hospital network topology. Our simulation results demonstrate that we can achieve high detection accuracy.
