Abstract Health care is a significant application of pervasive computing. In recent years, the pervasive health care applications are replaced by cloud-based health care applications thus solving the problem of scalability and computing cost. In a cloud-based pervasive health care data security and privacy becomes a greater concern. The key contribution of this paper is to provide high privacy, data confidentiality, availability against the health data and this is achieved using the proposed access control model which uses a PR based approach for providing access control to various users of the system. Privacy rating (PR) is calculated for both the user and the data to provide access to any data that is being requested by the user. The results achieved shows that the proposed model achieves high level of privacy and security for the data stored in the healthcare system.

Introduction Health care is an important area of pervasive applications. Pervasive means anywhere computing without the intervention of users. When it comes to pervasive systems a group of devices are connected with wired and wireless technology to form an invisible and intelligent computing environment so that the system can work with or without user intervention. These connected devices are capable of functioning independently with each other. All devices connected to the system are embedded with chips to connect the device to a network of other devices, where connectivity is always available [1]. Thus, facilitating its users to use the application of pervasive computing in various fields such as healthcare, homecare, transport, etc.

The main aim of pervasive healthcare is to use pervasive computing technologies to provide healthcare anywhere anytime for its users. It replaces the traditional system of health care which consists of finding the symptoms, visiting a doctor, communicating the symptoms, getting treated. But Pervasive healthcare provides healthcare facilities to individuals anywhere and at any time. It uses the concept of deploying the sensing and communication (wired and wireless) technologies to monitor patient’s health continuously by collecting the data through sensors. This helps to communicate accurate health information to a doctor or a medical professional, thereby giving proper and timely diagnosis and treatment for health problems of a patient anywhere.
