Healthcare facilities in modern age are key challenge especially in developing countries where remote areas face lack of high-quality hospitals and medical experts. As artificial intelligence has revolutionized various fields of life, health has also benefited from it. The existing architecture of store-and-forward method of conventional telemedicine is facing some problems, some of which are the need for a local health center with dedicated staff, need for medical equipment to prepare patient reports, time constraint of 24–48 hours in receiving diagnosis and medication details from a medical expert in a main hospital, cost of local health centers, and need for Wi-Fi connection. In this paper, we introduce a novel and intelligent healthcare system that is based on modern technologies like Internet of things (IoT) and machine learning. This system is intelligent enough to sense and process a patient’s data through a medical decision support system. This system is low-cost solution for the people of remote areas; they can use it to find out whether they are suffering from a serious health issue and cure it accordingly by contacting near hospitals. The results of the experiments also show that the proposed system is efficient and intelligent enough to provide health facilities. The results presented in this paper are the proof of the concept.

The Internet of Health Thing (IoHT) has various applications in healthcare. Modern IoHTintegrates health-related things like sensors and remotely observed medical devices for the assessment and managment of a patient's record to provide smarter and efficient health diagnostics to the patient. In this paper, we proposed an IoT with a cloud-based clinical decision support system for prediction and observation of disease with its severity level with the integration of 5G services and block-chain technologies. A block-chain is a system for storing and sharing information that is secure because of its transparency. Block-chain has many applications in healthcare and can improve mobile health applications, monitoring devices, sharing and storing of the electronic media records, clinical trial data, and insurance information storage. The proposed framework will collect the data of patients through medical devices that will be attached to the patient, and these data will be stored in a cloud server with relevant medical records. Deployment of Block-chain and 5G technology allows for sending patient data securely at a fast transmission rate with efficient response time. Furthermore, a Neural Network (NN) classifier is used for the prediction of diseases and their severity level. The proposed model is validated by employing different classifiers. The performance of different classifiers is measured by comparing the values to select the classifier that is the best for the dataset. The NN classifier attains an accuracy of 98.98. Furthermore, the NN is trained for the dataset so that it can predict the result of the dataset class that is not labeled. The trained Neural Network predicts and intelligently shows the results with more accuracy than other classifiers.
