%X This live demonstration showcases the potential
vulnerabilities in some wireless wearable sensors that use
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for communication, focusing on
the risks of Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks, sabotaging
and data manipulation attacks. We show how these attacks
can compromise not only the confidentiality and integrity of
potentially sensitive medical data transmitted by wearable
medical devices, but also patients’ privacy and safety as well as sensors’ reliability.
