Incorporating Ethics in Internet of Things (IoT) Enabled Connected Smart Healthcare

Emerging Internet of Things represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of modern communication networks. The basic premise is to have smart sensors collaborate directly without human involvement to deliver a new class of applications having far reaching consequences for all aspects of human life. In particular Internet of Things revolution is transforming the modern connected healthcare. However, ubiquitous nature and increased autonomy of the IoT devices raise serious concerns about the ethical complicity of connected smart healthcare applications. In this paper we present a novel method to incorporate ethics in IoT driven connected smart healthcare so that the services provided do not unwittingly infringe on the ethical rights of its beneficiaries.
