Abstract: In-home patient monitoring is one of the recent technology to monitor patient's body parameters continuously. Wireless body sensor network (WBSN) is designed in patient's home for real-time monitoring. Group of body sensors is fitted to the patient's body to collect the vital signs of the patient. These parameters are stored in a local database and personal computer (PC) is acting as a local database. But Android mobile phone is used as a local database here to avoid the use of a PC. The mobile phone collects these details and transmitted to the hospital through internet for remote analysis. Security and privacy are very important features during the transmission of this confidential information. Here, a variation of cipher-text policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is used to ensure the security. It supports double encryption technique to enhance the security. Thus, this work provides a secure system for patient's real-time health monitoring.
