Abstract
The rise of digital technology has essentially enhanced the overall communication and data management system, facilitating essential medical care services. Considering this aspect, the healthcare system successfully managed patient requirements through online services and facilitated patient experience. However, the lack of adequate data security and increased digital activities during Covid-19 made the healthcare system a soft target for hackers to gain unauthorized access and steal crucial and sensitive information. Countries such as the UK and the US recently received such challenges, highlighting the need for effective data maintenance. IoT emerged as one of the critical solutions for data management systems in terms of addressing data security which certainly can enhance overall data collection, storage, maintenance, prediction of potential data security breaches and taking appropriate measurements. The concerned research considers a secondary data collection process where necessary data is collected from original scholarly articles, books and journals. Apart from that, a positivism research philosophy, a deductive research approach and a descriptive research design have been considered for this study. Qualitative data analysis techniques have also been incorporated into this research. Upon viewing the pros and cons of IoT algorithms, DES, AES, triple data encryption standards, and RSA encryption can be used in the healthcare system to facilitate data protection.
