Medical devices equipped with network interfaces, classified as sensors, transmit sensitive information over the network. This information need to be secured applying security mechaninsms, in order to mitigate vulnerabilities.  Because  of the vulnerabilities, strong means of authentication have been investigated. However, existing strong authentication solutions require user interaction, not respecting their individuality. This paper proposes a strong authentication solution on sensor-based healthcare environments in order to support the authentication process of patients with special needs. The authentication was based on a combination of two methods acquired from sensors  of a healthcare environment: biometrics and location. In addition, standardizations provided by ISO/IEC 27799 and SBIS was followed for a safe development.
