Abstract

Reports from many countries describe remote obstetrics monitoring systems as a means of improving the quality of prenatal care. The next generation of remote obstetrics monitoring systems incorporate off-the-shelf equipment like commercial smartphones into their design, to not only reduce the cost of the monitoring equipment, but also to allow for greater flexibility by letting the patient perform monitoring herself, in the comfort of her own home. In this paper, the authors analyzed the security protections of recently proposed monitoring systems and proposed recommendations to improve the security of these systems.
