Machine Learning Algorithms for the Detection of Threats in IoT Healthcare

Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) technology enables the connectivity and communication of healthcare-related equipment, medical devices, and sensors. This connectivity enables better monitoring, data collecting, and analysis, which leads to better patient outcomes and more effective healthcare delivery. However, with the rising use of linked devices, it is critical to detect and prevent Cyberattacks in order to secure sensitive patient information. In order to tackle this problem, the article delves into the application of machine learning methods like Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and Naive Bayes (NB), These algorithms were evaluated using the WUSTL EHMS2020 dataset and demonstrated the highest level of accuracy. © 2023 IEEE.
