description The internet of things (IoT) technology can be nowadays used to track user activity in daily living and health-related quality of life. IoT healthcare sensors can play a great role in reducing health-related costs. It helps users to assess their health progression. Nonetheless, these IoT solutions add security challenges due to their direct access to numerous personal information and their close integration into user activities. As such, this IoT technology is always a viable target for cybercriminals. More importantly, any adversarial attacks on an individual IoT node undermine the overall security of the concerned networks. In this study, we present the privacy and security issues of IoT healthcare devices. Moreover, we address possible attack models needed to verify the robustness of such devices. Finally, we present our deployed AMbient Intelligence (AMI) Lab architecture, and we compare its performance to current IoT solutions.
