A Secured Network Prototype for Enhanced Connectivity in Hospital Environment for Remote Patient Monitoring

Abstract

With the developing stride in science and technology, effective healthcare delivering system is paramount. Healthcare service provider have taken pains over the past decades to implored Information Technology to render a better quality of service by setting up LANs & WANs Technology (Virtual Private Network) for securing connectivity between associate organizations and as well protecting patient’s data for confidentiality and integrity. The aspiration of this research is to design a network prototype good enough for deployment in healthcare institution (Hospital) with cardinal points on assurance of data integrity and privacy, providing resilient link with high availability by avoiding single point of failure in the network and security between the network links. This work is aimed at deploying an impeccable network solution that is resilient and not susceptible with secure real-time access to patients’ medical history and a nice access control polices for health centers in developing countries and as well a means of data development for every citizen.
