A mobile health monitoring system generates and monitors data related to a patient?s health using a wireless or wired channel. It may also control dosages of medicine or alter the behavior of medical devices to preserve a patient?s health. Such continuous monitoring and control gives mobile health monitoring systems the promise of improving health for lower costs than traditional methods. The security of mobile health monitoring systems is critical because of the importance of their tasks and the vulnerability of the devices and their operating environments. Such devices are sometimes used in hospitals or other health care facilities, but more often in patients? homes, offices, and other ordinary environments whose physical and cyber security cannot be controlled. The security of widely used mobile health monitoring devices is badly flawed. This danger will be addressed by adding security mechanisms to the overall system and environment in which mobile medical health devices operate. While less effective and efficient than designing such devices properly in the first place, there are reasonable low-cost solutions that can substantially improve the safety and security of such devices.

移动健康监测系统使用无线或有线通道生成并监测与患者S健康相关的数据。它还可能控制药物的剂量或改变医疗器械的行为，以保护患者S的健康。这种持续的监测和控制使移动健康监测系统有望以比传统方法更低的成本改善健康。移动健康监测系统的安全至关重要，因为其任务的重要性以及设备及其操作环境的脆弱性。这种设备有时会在医院或其他医疗机构使用，但更多的是在患者身上使用？物理和网络安全无法控制的家庭、办公室和其他普通环境。广泛使用的移动健康监测设备的安全性存在严重缺陷。这一危险将通过在移动医疗卫生设备运行的整个系统和环境中增加安全机制来解决。虽然一开始就不如正确设计此类设备的效果和效率高，但有合理的低成本解决方案可以显著提高此类设备的安全性和安全性。
