Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) applications have recently significantly increased, especially in health-related services. This movement also brings security issues to the applications, especially for those where the life of patients can be put in risk. This work presents the implementation of an application with remote monitoring for real respiratory ventilator implementation scenarios. To provide secure communications for the devices and applications, a custom protocol (Blackwing) was used. This protocol provides integrity and confidentiality to the application and also has as an objective to be lightweight and micro-service oriented. Lastly, communications from the ventilators are integrated using an architecture for IoT based on a mediator that allows the integration with devices that use other communication protocols.
