The use of 'electronic healthcare technology' is widespread, and it has huge potential to improve 'clinical outcomes and transform' how therapy is administered. On the other hand, medical device and information security is becoming a significant problem. Security breaches were, obviously, an issue even before the advent of digital clinical information. The interdependency of today's documentation, on the other hand, offers various prospective entry points: the ability to obtain from anywhere (whereas earlier, hard copies would have been kept in healthcare institutions and only available through personal breaches); the capacity for security breaches to go unobserved; and access towards a more comprehensive medical record, offering a more precious asset for possible threats (whereas traditionally, medical files may have been divided between many various providers). Previously, a data leak might have affected hundreds or even thousands of people due to missing paper documents or a stolen computer; but, now that this content is digitised and accessible across several networks, a cyber-attack has the capability to harm millions of patients. To demonstrate the concept, celebrity healthcare information has long been a target for cybercriminals. Prior to the introduction of electronic medical records, meanwhile, these vulnerabilities were restricted to hospital workers who had direct access to the documentation. Celebrity health information may now be viewed remotely, thus raising the risk of a data leak. For mitigating this issue, IoT or Internet of Things is widely used in healthcare industry to increase service security. This research has considered secondary qualitative method to gather wide range of information related to the study. © 2022 IEEE.
