• Abstract: The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) offers a promising solution to improve patient health and reduce human error. Wearable smart infusion pumps that accurately administer medication and integrate with electronic health records are an example of technology that can improve healthcare. They can even alert healthcare professionals or remote servers during operational failure, preventing distressing incidents. However, as the number of connected medical devices increases, the risk of cyber threats also increases. Wearable medication devices based on IoT attached to patients' bodies are prone to significant cyber threats. Being connected to the Internet exposes these devices to potential harm, which could disrupt or degrade device performance and harm patients. To ensure patient safety and well-being, it is crucial to establish secure data authentication for internet-connected medical devices. It is also important to note that the wearability option of such devices might downgrade the computational resources, making them more susceptible to security risks. This paper implements a security approach to a wearable infusion pump. We discuss practical challenges in implementing security-enabled devices and propose initial solutions to mitigate cyber threats.
