The healthcare industries research trends focus on patient reliable communication and security is a paramount requirement of healthcare applications. Jamming in wireless communication medium has become a major research issue due to the ease of blocking communication in wireless networks and throughput degradation. The most commonly used technique to overcome jamming is frequency hopping (FH). However, in traditional FH pre-sharing of key for channel selection and a high-throughput overhead is required. So to overcome this pre-sharing of key and to increase the security chaotic frequency hopping (CFH) has been proposed. The design of chaos-based hop selection is a new development that offers improved performance in transmission of information without pre-shared key and also increases the security. The authors analysed the performance of proposed CFH system under different reactive jamming durations. The percentage of error reduction by the reactive jamming for jamming duration 0.01 and 0.05 s for FH and CFH is 55.03 and 84.24%, respectively. The obtained result shows that CFH is more secure and difficult to jam by the reactive jammer.
