This industry and more generally healthcare in Africa benefits by adding security to ASSURED. This paper investigates two questions related to security for IoT medical solutions: 1.) What are the vulnerable security points in an IoT based medical system; and 2.) How can these vulnerabilities be hardened? To answer these questions, a security reference architecture is identified that can be the framework for identifying, understanding, teaching and mitigating threats in the various modules of an IoT healthcare solution.10 pagesen-USATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-NODERIVATIVES 4.0 INTERNATIONALhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/internet of thingshealthcareinformation securityText
