Abstract: Senior citizens are growing users of smart medical devices (SMDs), which are types of Internet of Things (IoT) that collect personal health information and connect wirelessly to the internet. While SMDs are valuable health devices, they are often adopted with little knowledge or understanding about how they work. This limited knowledge and reality that older adults are greater targets for IoT hacks poses risks. To better understand the potential risks, an exploratory study was conducted. The study included interviews with 42 older Wisconsinites an SMD and conducting laboratory tests on the security attributes of the devices. Interview findings suggest that SMDs are used to manage or prevent chronic health conditions. The findings further reveal use of the devices for convenience, as well as lack of understanding on how information is collected, stored, and by whom it is accessed. The findings point to the need for better educating senior citizens and their healthcare providers on the privacy risks of SMDs, educating developers on the additional risks that older adults face using SMDs, and advocating for public policies regarding the safety of SMDs.
