• Implantable and wearable medical devices (IWMDs) provide a wide range of benefits, including monitoring various physiological conditions and providing patients real-time treatment and emergency support. The latest generation of IWMDs incorporates greater communication and computation capabilities, enabling personalized healthcare. Security and reliability of these devices is therefore paramount. In this paper, we discuss potential vulnerabilities and attacks on IWMDs, including attacks which may interfere with the availability and correctness of integrated sensors. We propose effective countermeasures that can improve devices' resilience towards these attacks. We utilize a set of statistical and machine learning (ML) models as virtual biosensors, which serve to both detect and correct anomalous biosensor measurement errors in real-time. Experiments with a blood glucose dataset demonstrate that the virtual biosensors can not only detect anomalous measurements, but also fix measurement errors or even DoS-style attacks, which impact the availability of the sensor.
