Vulnerabilities in BLE-Enabled Wearable Medical Devices
Authors: Mohammad Alhussan, Francesca Boem, Sara Ghoreishizadeh, Anna Maria Mandalari
Event: PhD School at the 21st International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN 2024)
Date: December 10–13, 2024
Location: St. Regis Abu Dhabi, UAE
Overview
This research showcases the potential vulnerabilities in some wearable medical devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for communication, focusing on the risks of Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks, sabotaging and data manipulation attacks. We show how these attacks can compromise not only the confidentiality and integrity of potentially sensitive medical data transmitted by wearable medical devices, but also patients' privacy and safety as well as sensors' reliability.
