Internet of Medical Things Healthcare for Sustainable Smart Cities: Current Status and Future Prospects

Abstract

The concept of smart and connected healthcare has emerged in response to the growing demand for the improvement of healthcare systems and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Looking towards the future, smart healthcare holds great potential to transform the healthcare industry by providing more efficient, personalized, and accessible healthcare services. This paper delves into the concept of intelligent, interconnected, and customized healthcare systems within the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) framework. It explores the utilization of cutting-edge technologies, including the IoMT, in conjunction with big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain to provide healthcare services that are not only more efficient but also more convenient and personalized. It draws on existing literature, bibliometric data, and global marketing analysis to gain a deeper understanding of these technologies and their impact on the healthcare system. We have explored several upcoming features of the Healthcare 5.0 paradigm, which represents the next evolution in healthcare systems focusing on a more personalized and patient-centric approach. We introduce a healthcare architecture specifically designed for the IoMT that prioritizes the security considerations associated with devices. Finally, we have focused on addressing open research challenges, particularly those related to fundamental social needs, such as ensuring equitable access to smart and connected healthcare systems.

Advancing Medical Device Manufacturing: The Convergence of Edge Computing and Industry 5.0

“…Efforts to develop industry-wide standards are necessary to ensure compatibility, promote interoperability, and enable seamless communication. Integrating diverse medical devices into an edge computing environment requires standardized interfaces, protocols, and data models to facilitate plug-and-play connectivity [58]. Interoperability challenges extend to integrating edge computing systems with existing healthcare information systems, such as electronic health records (EHRs) [59] [60].…”

Exploring the Risks, Benefits, Advances, and Challenges in Internet Integration in Medicine With the Advent of 5G Technology: A Comprehensive Review

“…This efficiency streamlines the communication of critical patient information among healthcare professionals, reducing delays in diagnosis and treatment. For instance, when a patient is transferred between healthcare facilities or is seeking a second opinion from a specialist in another location, 5G technology ensures that all relevant medical data is quickly accessible, contributing to faster and more accurate decision-making [ 6 ].…”

A Low-Power Analog Integrated Euclidean Distance Radial Basis Function Classifier

“…As the demand for portable, remote monitoring devices surges, low-power solutions not only optimize battery life, but also pave the way for the seamless integration of technology into everyday life, ensuring prolonged and unobtrusive monitoring for improved patient outcomes [17]. The development of such energy-efficient solutions represents a fundamental pillar in advancing biomedical engineering, fostering the creation of scalable, sustainable, and patient-centric healthcare innovations [18].…”
