Abstract
The growing integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology within the healthcare sector has revolutionized healthcare delivery, enabling advanced personalized care and precise treatments. However, this raises significant challenges, demanding robust, intelligible, and effective monitoring mechanisms. We propose an interpretable machine-learning approach to the trustworthy and effective detection of behavioral anomalies within the realm of medical IoT. The discovered anomalies serve as indicators of potential system failures and security threats. Essentially, the detection of anomalies is accomplished by learning a classifier from the operational data generated by smart devices. The learning problem is dealt with in predictive association modeling, whose expressiveness and intelligibility enforce trustworthiness to offer a comprehensive, fully interpretable, and effective monitoring solution for the medical IoT ecosystem. Preliminary results show the effectiveness of our approach.
