Security has been an issue of contention in healthcare. The lack of familiarity and poor\nimplementation of security in healthcare leave the patients� data vulnerable to attackers. The main\nissue is assessing how we can provide security in an RPM infrastructure. The findings in literature\nshow there is little empirical evidence on proper implementation of security. Therefore, there\nis an urgent need in addressing cybersecurity issues in medical devices. Through the review of\nrelevant literature in remote patient monitoring and use of a Microsoft threat modelling tool, we\nidentify and explore current vulnerabilities and threats in IEEE 11073 standard devices to propose\na new security framework for remote patient monitoring devices. Additionally, current RPM\ndevices have a limitation on the number of people who can share a single device, therefore, we\npropose the use of NFC for identification in Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) devices for multi-user\nenvironments where we have multiple people sharing a single device to reduce errors associated\nwith incorrect user identification. We finally show how several techniques have been used to build\nthe proposed framework.
