The Healthcare Internet-of-Things (H-IoT), commonly known as Digital Healthcare, is a data-driven infrastructure that highly relies on smart sensing devices (i.e., blood pressure monitors, temperature sensors, etc.) for faster response time, treatments, and diagnosis. However, with the evolving cyber threat landscape, IoT devices have become more vulnerable to the broader risk surface (e.g., risks associated with generative AI, 5G-IoT, etc.), which, if exploited, may lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and lack of command and control and potential harm. This paper reviews the fundamentals of healthcare IoT, its privacy, and data security challenges associated with machine learning and H-IoT devices. The paper further emphasizes the importance of monitoring healthcare IoT layers such as perception, network, cloud, and application. Detecting and responding to anomalies involves various cyber-attacks and protocols such as Wi-Fi 6, Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), Bluetooth, ZigBee, LoRa, and 5G New Radio (5G NR). A robust authentication mechanism based on machine learning and deep learning techniques is required to protect and mitigate H-IoT devices from increasing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Hence, in this review paper, security and privacy challenges and risk mitigation strategies for building resilience in H-IoT are explored and reported.
