Hacking Health: Unveiling Vulnerabilities in Wireless Wearable Sensors

Authors: Mohammad Alhussan, Francesca Boem, Sara Ghoreishizadeh, Anna Maria Mandalari

Conference: IEEE BioSensors 2024

This live demonstration showcases vulnerabilities in wearable sensors using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), focusing on Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) and data manipulation attacks. Our demo highlights security risks in devices such as SnapECG, Wellue Oxylink, and Wellue BPM.
