The Internet of Things refers to physical items, which are equipped with software, sensors, computing power, and other technologies, and that communicate with other electronic devices and systems over communication networks or the Internet. A collection of medical devices and software programmes known as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) link to healthcare networks via internet computing. Machine-to-machine communication, which is the foundation of IoMT, is made feasible by medical equipment that includes Wi-Fi. IoMT devices have the ability to analyse and store collected data by connecting to cloud services. IoMT is a different moniker for IoT in healthcare. Since data is transferred via the internet and the IoMT creates a lot of data, privacy concerns are important. The vast volume of data produced by IoMT devices calls for big data processing, and federated learning tackles privacy issues as a way to overcome these difficulties. The big data health care framework for IoMT is discussed in this article. It is built on federated learning.

IoMT sensor nodes, Internet of Things (IoT) wearable medical equipment, healthcare facilities, patients, and insurance firms are all increasingly being included in IoMT systems. Therefore, it is difficult to create a blockchain design for such systems, since scalability is among the most important aspects of blockchain technology. This realization prompted us to comprehensively analyze blockchain-based IoMT solutions developed in English between 2017 and 2022. This review incorporates the theoretical underpinnings of a large body of work published in highly regarded academic journals over the past decade, to standardize evaluation methods and fully capture the rapidly developing blockchain space. This study categorizes blockchain-enabled applications across various industries such as information management, privacy, healthcare, business, and supply chains according to a structured, systematic evaluation, and thematic content analysis of the literature that is already identified. The gaps in the literature on the topic have also been highlighted, with a special focus on the restrictions posed by blockchain technology and the knock-on effects that such restrictions have in other fields. Based on these results, several open research questions and potential avenues for further investigation that are likely to be useful to academics and professionals alike are pinpointed.

Full textAbstract:
In this digital era expectations for medical quality have increased. As the number of patients continues to increase, conventional health care methods are having to deal with new complications. In light of these observations, researchers suggested a hybrid combination of conventional health care methods with IoT technology and develop MIoT. The goal of IoMT is to ensure that patients can respond more effectively and efficiently to their treatment. But preserving user privacy is a critical issue when it comes to collecting and handling highly sensitive personal health data. However, IoMTs have limited processing power; hence, they can only implement minimal security techniques. Consequently, throughout the health data transfer through MIoT, patient’s data is at risk of data leakage. This manuscript per the authors emphasizes the need of implementing suitable security measures to increase the IoMT's resilience to cyberattacks. Additionally, this manuscript per the authors discusses the main security and privacy issues associated with IoMT and provide an overview of existing techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, in healthcare organizations, real-time data have been collected from connected or implantable sensors, layered protocol stacks, lightweight communication frameworks, and end devices, named the Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT) ecosystems. IoMT is vital in driving healthcare analytics (HA) toward extracting meaningful data-driven insights. Recently, concerns have been raised over data sharing over IoMT, and stored electronic health records (EHRs) forms due to privacy regulations. Thus, with less data, the analytics model is deemed inaccurate. Thus, a transformative shift has started in HA from centralized learning paradigms towards distributed or edge-learning paradigms. In distributed learning, federated learning (FL) allows for training on local data without explicit data-sharing requirements. However, FL suffers from a high degree of statistical heterogeneity of learning models, level of data partitions, and fragmentation, which jeopardizes its accuracy during the learning and updating process. Recent surveys of FL in healthcare have yet to discuss the challenges of massive distributed datasets, sparsification, and scalability concerns. Because of this gap, the survey highlights the potential integration of FL in IoMT, the FL aggregation policies, reference architecture, and the use of distributed learning models to support FL in IoMT ecosystems. A case study of a trusted cross-cluster-based FL, named Cross-FL, is presented, highlighting the gradient aggregation policy over remotely connected and networked hospitals. Performance analysis is conducted regarding system latency, model accuracy, and the trust of consensus mechanism. The distributed FL outperforms the centralized FL approaches by a potential margin, which makes it viable for real-IoMT prototypes. As potential outcomes, the proposed survey addresses key solutions and the potential of FL in IoMT to support distributed networked healthcare organizations.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionized the world of healthcare by remotely connecting patients to healthcare providers through medical devices connected over the Internet. IoMT devices collect patients’ medical data and share them with healthcare providers, who analyze it for early control of diseases. The security of patients’ data is of prime importance in IoMT. Authentication of users and devices is the first layer of security in IoMT. However, because of diverse and resource-constrained devices, authentication in IoMT is a challenging task. Several authentication schemes for IoMT have been proposed in the literature. However, each of them has its own pros and cons. To identify, evaluate and summarize the current literature on authentication in IoMT, we conducted a systematic review of 118 articles published between 2016 and 2021. We also established a taxonomy of authentication schemes in IoMT from seven different perspectives. We observed that most of the authentication schemes use a distributed architecture and public key infrastructure. It was also observed that hybrid cryptography approaches have become popular to overcome the shortcomings of single cryptographic approaches. Authentication schemes in IoMT need to support end-to-end, cross-layer, and cross-domain authentication. Finally, we discuss some open issues and future directions.

Continuous advancements of technologies such as machine-to-machine interactions and big data analysis have led to the internet of things (IoT) making information sharing and smart decision-making possible using everyday devices. On the other hand, swarm intelligence (SI) algorithms seek to establish constructive interaction among agents regardless of their intelligence level. In SI algorithms, multiple individuals run simultaneously and possibly in a cooperative manner to address complex nonlinear problems. In this paper, the application of SI algorithms in IoT is investigated with a special focus on the internet of medical things (IoMT). The role of wearable devices in IoMT is briefly reviewed. Existing works on applications of SI in addressing IoMT problems are discussed. Possible problems include disease prediction, data encryption, missing values prediction, resource allocation, network routing, and hardware failure management. Finally, research perspectives and future trends are outlined.

Full textAbstract:
Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technologies provide suitability among physicians and patients because they are useful in numerous medical fields. Wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) are one of the most crucial technologies from within the IoMT evolution of the healthcare system, whereby each patient is monitored by low-powered and lightweight sensors. When the WBSNs are integrated into IoMT networks, they are quite likely to overlap each other; thus, cooperation between WBSN sensors is possible. In this paper, we consider communication between WBSNs and beyond their communication range. Therefore, we propose inter-WBAN cooperation for the IoMT system, which is also known as inter-WBAN cooperation in an IoMT environment (IWC-IoMT). In this paper, first, a proposed architecture for the IoT health-based system is investigated. Then, a mathematical model of the outage probability for the IWC-IoMT is derived. Finally, the energy efficiency of the IWC-IoT is analysed and inspected. The simulation and numerical results show that the IWC-IoMT (cooperative IoMT) system provides superior performance compared to the non-cooperative system.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) global market has grown and developed significantly in recent years, and the number of IoMT devices is increasing every year. IoMT systems are now very popular and have become part of our everyday life. However, such systems should be properly protected to preventing unauthorized access to the devices. One of the most popular security methods that additionally relies on real-time communication is Blockchain. Moreover, such a technique can be supported by the Trusted Third Party (TTP), which guarantees data immutability and transparency. The research and industrial community has predicted the proliferation of Blockchain-based IoMT (BIoMT), for providing security, privacy, and effective insurance processing. A connected environment comprises some of the unique features of the IoMT in the form of sensors and devices that capture and measure, recognize and classify, assess risk, notify, make conclusions, and take action. Distributed communication is also unique due to the combination of the fact that the Blockchain cannot be tampered with and the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technique, especially compared to the traditional cloud-based techniques where the reliance of IoMT systems on the centralized cloud makes it somewhat vulnerable. This paper proposes a Blockchain-based technique oriented on IoMT applications with a focus on maintaining Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (the CIA triad) of data communication in the system. The proposed solution is oriented toward trusted and secure real-time communication. The presented method is illustrated by an example of a cloud-based hospital application. Finally, the security aspects of the proposed approach are studied and analyzed in detail.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past few years, the healthcare sector is being transformed due to the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the introduction of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technology, whose purpose is the improvement of the patient’s quality of life. Nevertheless, the heterogenous and resource-constrained characteristics of IoMT networks make them vulnerable to a wide range of threats. Thus, novel security mechanisms, such as accurate and efficient anomaly-based intrusion detection systems (AIDSs), considering the inherent limitations of the IoMT networks, need to be developed before IoMT networks reach their full potential in the market. Towards this direction, in this paper, we propose an efficient and effective anomaly-based intrusion detection system (AIDS) for IoMT networks. The proposed AIDS aims to leverage host-based and network-based techniques to reliably collect log files from the IoMT devices and the gateway, as well as traffic from the IoMT edge network, while taking into consideration the computational cost. The proposed AIDS is to rely on machine learning (ML) techniques, considering the computation overhead, in order to detect abnormalities in the collected data and thus identify malicious incidents in the IoMT network. A set of six popular ML algorithms was tested and evaluated for anomaly detection in the proposed AIDS, and the evaluation results showed which of them are the most suitable.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) represents a specialized domain within the Internet of Things, focusing on medical devices that require regulatory approval to ensure patient safety. Trusted composition of IoMT systems aims to ensure high assurance of the entire composed system, despite potential variability in the assurance levels of individual components. Achieving this trustworthiness in IoMT systems, especially when using less-assured, commercial, off-the-shelf networks like Ethernet and WiFi, presents a significant challenge. To address this challenge, this paper advocates a systematic approach that leverages the Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL) along with Behavior Language for Embedded Systems with Software (BLESS) specification and implementation. This approach aims to provide high assurance on critical components through formal verification, while using less-assured components in a manner that maintains overall system determinism and reliability. A clinical case study involving an automated opioid infusion monitoring IoMT system is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed approach. Through this case study, the effectiveness of the systemic approach in achieving trusted composition of heterogeneous medical devices over less-assured networks is demonstrated.

At present, the traditional healthcare system is completely replaced by the revolutionary technique, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Internet of Medical Things is the IoT hub that comprises of medical devices and applications which are interconnected through online computer networks. The basic principle of IoMT is machine-to-machine communication that takes place online. The major goal of IoMT is to reduce frequent or unwanted visits to the hospitals which makes it comfortable and is also highly preferred by the older people. Another advantage of this methodology is that the interpreted or collected data is stored in cloud modules unlike amazon and Mhealth, making it accessible remotely. Although there are countless advantages in IoMT, the critical factor lies in data security or encryption. A surplus number of threat related to devices, connectivity, and cloud might occur under unforeseen or threatening circumstances which makes the person in the situation helpless. Yet, with the help of data security techniques designed especially for Internet of Medical Things, it is possible to address these challenges. In this paper, a review on data securing techniques for the internet of medical things is made along with a discussion on related concepts.

Full textAbstract:
Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a kind of Internet of Things (IoT) that includes patients and medical sensors. Patients can share real-time medical data collected in IoMT with medical professionals. This enables medical professionals to provide patients with efficient medical services. Due to the high efficiency of cloud computing, patients prefer to share gathering medical information using cloud servers. However, sharing medical data on the cloud server will cause security issues, because these data involve the privacy of patients. Although recently many researchers have designed data sharing schemes in medical domain for security purpose, most of them cannot guarantee the anonymity of patients and provide access control for shared health data, and further, they are not lightweight enough for IoMT. Due to these security and efficiency issues, a novel lightweight privacy-preserving data sharing scheme is constructed in this paper for IoMT. This scheme can achieve the anonymity of patients and access control of shared medical data. At the same time, it satisfies all described security features. In addition, this scheme can achieve lightweight computations by using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), XOR operations, and hash function. Furthermore, performance evaluation demonstrates that the proposed scheme takes less computation cost through comparison with similar solutions. Therefore, it is fairly an attractive solution for efficient and secure data sharing in IoMT.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) connects a huge amount of smart sensors with the Internet for healthcare service provisioning. IoMT’s privacy-preserving becomes a challenge considering the life-saving data collected and transferred through IoMT. Traditional privacy protection techniques use centralized management strategies, which lead to a single point of failure, lack of trust, state modification, information disclosure, and identity theft. Edge computing enables local computation of IoMT data, which reduces traffic to the cloud and also helps in accomplishing latency-sensitive healthcare applications and services. This paper proposes a novel framework (i.e., SecureMed) that uses blockchain-based distributed authentication implemented at the edge cloudlets to enforce privacy protection. In SecureMed, IoMT devices interact with edge cloudlets using smart contracts. It uses trusted edge nodes to implement an authentication algorithm that uses public/private key matching to authenticate IoMT. Experimental evaluation performed using the Pythereum blockchain shows that SecureMed outperforms the traditional blockchain scheme based on latency, bandwidth consumption, deployment time, scalability, and accuracy. Therefore, it can be used to protect the edge-enabled IoMT from privacy attacks and to ensure end-to-end healthcare service provisioning.

As IT technology has recently been combined with portable device (smartphones, tablets, etc.), demands for state-of-the-art infrastructure are growing. Among them, there is a need for IoMT technology that combines big data and IoT technologies into healthcare. In this paper, we propose a distributed management technique that can efficiently manage the health care (monitoring and chronic disease management, etc.) information of remote patients by applying various artificial intelligence-related technologies (big data analysis, blockchain, deep learning, etc.) to IoMT technology. The proposed technique facilitates the collection and management of data by equating the basic management structure of the data with the existing patient model of the hospital. In particular, since the information collected from the IoMT sensor is composed of multiple blockchains, the task weight of the endpoints is minimized. Also, the proposed technique improved the accuracy of the IoMT information by using the stratified cumulative probability values of the IoMT sensor information. Proposed technique have improved the efficiency of data collection processing by 14.7% over conventional techniques by automating the linkage between IoMT equipment on the central server for all actions of the IoMT device.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a rapidly expanding network comprising medical devices, sensors, and software that collect and exchange patient health data. Today, the IoMT has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by offering more personalized care to patients and improving the efficiency of healthcare delivery. However, the IoMT also introduces significant privacy concerns, particularly regarding data privacy. IoMT devices often collect and store large amounts of data about patients’ health. These data could be used to track patients’ movements, monitor their health habits, and even predict their future health risks. This extensive data collection and surveillance could be a major invasion of patient privacy. Thus, privacy-preserving research in an IoMT context is an important area of research that aims to mitigate these privacy issues. This review paper comprehensively applies the PRISMA methodology to analyze, review, classify, and compare current approaches of preserving patient data privacy within IoMT blockchain-based healthcare environments.

Internet of Medical Thing (IoMT) is the most emerging era of the Internet of Thing (IoT), which is exponentially gaining researchers’ attention with every passing day because of its wide applicability in Smart Healthcare systems (SHS). Because of the current pandemic situation, it is highly risky for an individual to visit the doctor for every small problem. Hence, using IoMT devices, we can easily monitor our day-to-day health records, and thereby initial precautions can be taken on our own. IoMT is playing a crucial role within the healthcare industry to increase the accuracy, reliability, and productivity of electronic devices. This research work provides an overview of IoMT with emphasis on various enabling techniques used in smart healthcare systems (SHS), such as radio frequency identification (RFID), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain. We are providing a comparative analysis of various IoMT architectures proposed by several researchers. Also, we have defined various health domains of IoMT, including the analysis of different sensors with their application environment, merits, and demerits. In addition, we have figured out key protocol design challenges, which are to be considered during the implementation of an IoMT network-based smart healthcare system. Considering these challenges, we prepared a comparative study for different data collection techniques that can be used to maintain the accuracy of collected data. In addition, this research work also provides a comprehensive study for maintaining the energy efficiency of an AI-based IoMT framework based on various parameters, such as the amount of energy consumed, packet delivery ratio, battery lifetime, quality of service, power drain, network throughput, delay, and transmission rate. Finally, we have provided different correlation equations for finding the accuracy and efficiency within the IoMT-based healthcare system using artificial intelligence. We have compared different data collection algorithms graphically based on their accuracy and error rate. Similarly, different energy efficiency algorithms are also graphically compared based on their energy consumption and packet loss percentage. We have analyzed our references used in this study, which are graphically represented based on their distribution of publication year and publication avenue.

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an ecosystem composed of connected electronic items such as small sensors/actuators and other cyber-physical devices (CPDs) in medical services. When these devices are linked together, they can support patients through medical monitoring, analysis, and reporting in more autonomous and intelligent ways. The IoMT devices; however, often do not have sufficient computing resources onboard for service and security assurance while the medical services handle large quantities of sensitive and private health-related data. This leads to several research problems on how to improve security in IoMT systems. This paper focuses on quantum machine learning to assess security vulnerabilities in IoMT systems. This paper provides a comprehensive review of both traditional and quantum machine learning techniques in IoMT vulnerability assessment. This paper also proposes an innovative fused semi-supervised learning model, which is compared to the state-of-the-art traditional and quantum machine learning in an extensive experiment. The experiment shows the competitive performance of the proposed model against the state-of-the-art models and also highlights the usefulness of quantum machine learning in IoMT security assessments and its future applications.

The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things has significantly enhanced our daily lives across various dimensions. E-health has significantly benefited from advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT), particularly with the emergence of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). A sophisticated wireless sensor network produces a huge amount of data, requiring robust cloud-based hardware for precise processing and categorization. The IoMT allows for the extensive gathering of medical data from incoming hospital patients, enabling real-time monitoring of vital signs and health statuses. Nevertheless, effectively prioritizing patients in emergencies is challenging due to the importance and complicatedness of the data. To tackle this issue, an innovative solution involves integrating Explainable Artificial Intelligence into the IoMT ecosystem. By incorporating Explainable AI, the system enhances explainability, fostering trust and reliability in patient prioritization. This provides healthcare providers a more reliable prioritization mechanism that aligns with established medical guidelines. The study explores IoMT devices for collecting medical data from incoming patients, focusing on the MQTT protocol for lightweight devices, aiming to guide patients to the right department and prioritize emergency management through IoMT data analysis.

With the widespread and increasing use of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in all aspects of daily life, a hopeful future for people, data, and processes is emerging. Extensive spans allow for an integrated life cycle to be created from home to enterprise. The Internet of Medical things (IoMT) forms a flourishing surface that incorporates the sensitive information of human life being sent to doctors or hospitals. These open an enormous space for hackers to utilize flaws of the IoMT network to make a profit. This creates a demand for standardizing regulations and a secure system. Though many authorities are making standards, there are some lacking in the system which makes the product vulnerable. Although many established mechanisms are present for the IoT network, there are a number of obstacles preventing its general implementation in the IoMT network. One of the adoption challenges is the IoMT devices itself, because many IoMT networks consist of battery-powered devices with constrained processing capability. A general overview of the different security integrations with IoT applications has been presented in several papers. Therefore, this paper aims to provide an overview of the IoMT ecosystem, regulations, challenges of standards, security mechanisms using cryptographic solutions, physical unclonable functions (PUF)-based solutions, blockchain, and named data networking (NDN) as well, with pros and cons.

In recent years, the medical industry has rapidly modernized, incorporating technology to aid in accelerating and simplifying procedures for better accuracy. This technology is becoming more interconnected to create a larger network known as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) that can combat the pandemic’s spread. In other words, IoMT emphasizes health applications while maintaining the core concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). The further spread of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) can be halted by employing it. Consequently, this paper uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology to evaluate recently published articles in the IoMT domain during the COVID-19 era. Between 2019 and 2022, we analyzed 41 studies. An analysis of the evaluation criteria reveals that the delay factor comprises 38% of the evaluation criteria, the highest percentage because a low-delay IoMT device has a quick response time between the time a request is made and the time a response is received. Moreover, the performance factor accounts for 22%, the accuracy factor accounts for 28%, the security factor for 6%, and the cost factor for 6%. Finally, we concentrate on open issues and future research challenges in IoMT during the COVID-19 era.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) plays an important role in strengthening sustainable healthcare systems. IoMT significantly influences our healthcare because it facilitates monitoring and checking patient medical information before transferring the data to a cloud network for future use. The IoMT is a big-data platform which is growing rapidly, so it is critical to maintain all data safely and securely. In this study, Blockchain-Assisted Cybersecurity (BCCS) for the IoMT in the healthcare industry is proposed. Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that allows end-to-end communication and provides interaction between untrustworthy persons. BCCS uses a conventional in-depth approach and blockchain to create a procedure for collecting medical information from the IoMT and integrated devices. The proposed system utilizes blockchain to record and extract the accumulated information in a secure and distributed manner within a closed environment suitable for healthcare professionals, such as nursing homes, hospitals, and the healthcare industry where data exchange is needed. The experimental outcomes show that the proposed system has a high security rate of 99.8% and the lowest latency rate of 4.3% compared to traditional approaches. In all, the reliability of the proposed system gives the highest rate of 99.4%.

Integrating the internet of things (IoT) in medical applications has significantly improved healthcare operations and patient treatment activities. Real-time patient monitoring and remote diagnostics allow the physician to serve more patients and save human lives using internet of medical things (IoMT) technology. However, IoMT devices are prone to cyber attacks, and security and privacy have been a concern. The IoMT devices operate on low computing and low memory, and implementing security technology on IoMT devices is not feasible. In this article, we propose particle swarm optimization deep neural network (PSO-DNN) for implementing an effective and accurate intrusion detection system in IoMT. Our approach outperforms the state of the art with an accuracy of 96% to detect network intrusions using the combined network traffic and patient’s sensing dataset. We also present an extensive analysis of using various Machine Learning(ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques for network intrusion detection in IoMT and confirm that DL models perform slightly better than ML models.

IoT has seen remarkable growth, particularly in healthcare, leading to the rise of IoMT. IoMT integrates medical devices for real-time data analysis and transmission but faces challenges in data security and interoperability. This research identifies a significant gap in the existing literature regarding a comprehensive ontology for vulnerabilities in medical IoT devices. This paper proposes a fundamental domain ontology named MIoT (Medical Internet of Things) ontology, focusing on cybersecurity in IoMT (Internet of Medical Things), particularly in remote patient monitoring settings. This research will refer to similar-looking acronyms, IoMT and MIoT ontology. It is important to distinguish between the two. IoMT is a collection of various medical devices and their applications within the research domain. On the other hand, MIoT ontology refers to the proposed ontology that defines various concepts, roles, and individuals. MIoT ontology utilizes the knowledge engineering methodology outlined in Ontology Development 101, along with the structured life cycle, and establishes semantic interoperability among medical devices to secure IoMT assets from vulnerabilities and cyberattacks. By defining key concepts and relationships, it becomes easier to understand and analyze the complex network of information within the IoMT. The MIoT ontology captures essential key terms and security-related entities for future extensions. A conceptual model is derived from the MIoT ontology and validated through a case study. Furthermore, this paper outlines a roadmap for future research, highlighting potential impacts on security automation in healthcare applications.

Background The Internet of Medical Things (IoMTs) is gradually replacing the traditional healthcare system. However, little attention has been paid to their security requirements in the development of the IoMT devices and systems. One of the main reasons can be the difficulty of tuning conventional security solutions to the IoMT system. Machine Learning (ML) has been successfully employed in the attack detection and mitigation process. Advanced ML technique can also be a promising approach to address the existing and anticipated IoMT security and privacy issues. However, because of the existing challenges of IoMT system, it is imperative to know how these techniques can be effectively utilized to meet the security and privacy requirements without affecting the IoMT systems quality, services, and device’s lifespan. Methodology This article is devoted to perform a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the security and privacy issues of IoMT and their solutions by ML techniques. The recent research papers disseminated between 2010 and 2020 are selected from multiple databases and a standardized SLR method is conducted. A total of 153 papers were reviewed and a critical analysis was conducted on the selected papers. Furthermore, this review study attempts to highlight the limitation of the current methods and aims to find possible solutions to them. Thus, a detailed analysis was carried out on the selected papers through focusing on their methods, advantages, limitations, the utilized tools, and data. Results It was observed that ML techniques have been significantly deployed for device and network layer security. Most of the current studies improved traditional metrics while ignored performance complexity metrics in their evaluations. Their studies environments and utilized data barely represent IoMT system. Therefore, conventional ML techniques may fail if metrics such as resource complexity and power usage are not considered.

The disclosure of personal and private information is one of the main challenges of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Most IoMT-based services, applications, and platforms follow a common architecture where wearables or other medical devices capture data that are forwarded to the cloud. In this scenario, edge computing brings new opportunities to enhance the operation of IoMT. However, despite the benefits, the inherent characteristics of edge computing require countermeasures to address the security and privacy issues that IoMT gives rise to. The restrictions of IoT devices in terms of battery, memory, hardware resources, or computing capabilities have led to a common agreement for the use of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) with hardware or software implementations. As an example, the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) is widely used by IoT devices to compute digital signatures. On the other hand, it is well known that dual signature has been an effective method to provide consumer privacy in classic e-commerce services. This article joins both approaches. It presents a novel solution to enhanced security and the preservation of data privacy in communications between IoMT devices and the cloud via edge computing devices. While data source anonymity is achieved from the cloud perspective, integrity and origin authentication of the collected data is also provided. In addition, computational requirements and complexity are kept to a minimum.

Full textAbstract:
Network coding is a potent technique extensively utilized in decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) systems, including the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Nevertheless, the inherent packet-mixing characteristics of network coding expose data transmission to pollution attacks, potentially compromising the integrity of original files. The homomorphic signature scheme serves as a robust cryptographic tool that can bolster network coding’s resilience against such attacks. However, current schemes are computationally intensive for signature verification, making them impractical for IoMT environments. In this study, we propose a lightweight identity-based network coding scheme (IBNS) that minimizes computational overhead during the signing and verification processes. This scheme has been demonstrated to be secure against adaptive chosen-message attacks and is well-suited for IoMT applications. Furthermore, we assess the performance of our IBNS through both theoretical and experimental analyses. Simulation outcomes confirm that our scheme outperforms previous ones in terms of practicality and efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
The healthcare sector has undergone a profound transformation, owing to the influential role played by Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technology. However, there are substantial concerns over these devices’ security and privacy-preserving mechanisms. The current literature on IoMT tends to focus on specific security features, rather than wholistic security concerning Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA Triad), and the solutions are generally simulated and not tested in a real-world network. The proposed innovative solution is known as Secure-by-Design Real-Time IoMT Architecture for e-Health Population Monitoring (RTPM) and it can manage keys at both ends (IoMT device and IoMT server) to maintain high privacy standards and trust during the monitoring process and enable the IoMT devices to run safely and independently even if the server is compromised. However, the session keys are controlled by the trusted IoMT server to lighten the IoMT devices’ overheads, and the session keys are securely exchanged between the client system and the monitoring server. The proposed RTPM focuses on addressing the major security requirements for an IoMT system, i.e., the CIA Triad, and conducts device authentication, protects from Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and prevents non-repudiation attacks in real time. A self-healing solution during the network failure of live e-health monitoring is also incorporated in RTPM. The robustness and stress of the system are tested with different data types and by capturing live network traffic. The system’s performance is analysed using different security algorithms with different key sizes of RSA (1024 to 8192 bits), AES (128 to 256 bits), and SHA (256 bits) to support a resource-constraint-powered system when integrating with resource-demanding secure parameters and features. In the future, other security features like intrusion detection and prevention and the user’s experience and trust level of such a system will be tested.

Home-based healthcare provides a viable and cost-effective method of delivery for resource- and labour-intensive therapies, such as rehabilitation therapies, including anorectal biofeedback. However, existing systems for home anorectal biofeedback are not able to monitor patient compliance or assess the quality of exercises performed, and as a result have yet to see wide spread clinical adoption. In this paper, we propose a new Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) system to provide home-based biofeedback therapy, facilitating remote monitoring by the physician. We discuss our user-centric design process and the proposed architecture, including a new sensing probe, mobile app, and cloud-based web application. A case study involving biofeedback training exercises was performed. Data from the IoMT was compared against the clinical standard, high-definition anorectal manometry. We demonstrated the feasibility of our proposed IoMT in providing anorectal pressure profiles equivalent to clinical manometry and its application for home-based anorectal biofeedback therapy.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a bio-network of associated medical devices, which is slowly improving the healthcare industry by focusing its abilities on enhancing personal healthcare benefits with medical data. Moreover, the IoMT tries to deliver sufficient and more suitable medical services at a low cost. With the rapid growth of technology, medical instruments that are widely used anywhere are likely to increase security issues and create safe data transmission issues through resource limitations and available connectivity. Moreover, the patients probably face the risk of different forms of physical harm because of IoMT device attacks. In this paper, we present a secure environment for IoMT devices against cyber-attacks for patient medical data using a new IoMT framework with a hybrid genetic algorithm-based random forest (GA-RF) model. The proposed algorithm achieved better results in terms of accuracy (99.999%), precision, and recall (100%, respectively) to detect cyber-attacks based on two NSL-KDD and UNSW_2018_IoT_Botnet data sets than the other machine learning algorithms.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has dramatically benefited medical professionals that patients and physicians can access from all regions. Although the automatic detection and prediction of diseases such as melanoma and leukemia is still being investigated and studied in IoMT, existing approaches are not able to achieve a high degree of efficiency. Thus, with a new approach that provides better results, patients would access the adequate treatments earlier and the death rate would be reduced. Therefore, this paper introduces an IoMT proposal for medical images’ classification that may be used anywhere, i.e., it is an ubiquitous approach. It was designed in two stages: first, we employ a transfer learning (TL)-based method for feature extraction, which is carried out using MobileNetV3; second, we use the chaos game optimization (CGO) for feature selection, with the aim of excluding unnecessary features and improving the performance, which is key in IoMT. Our methodology was evaluated using ISIC-2016, PH2, and Blood-Cell datasets. The experimental results indicated that the proposed approach obtained an accuracy of 88.39% on ISIC-2016, 97.52% on PH2, and 88.79% on Blood-cell datsets. Moreover, our approach had successful performances for the metrics employed compared to other existing methods.

The healthcare industry has recently shown much interest in the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a component of the IoTs in which medical appliances transmit information to communicate critical information. The growth of the IoMT has been facilitated by the inclusion of medical equipment in the IoT. These developments enable the healthcare sector to interact with and care for its patients effectively. Every technology that relies on the IoT can have a serious security challenge. Critical IoT connectivity data may be exposed, changed, or even made unavailable to authenticated users in the case of such attacks. Consequently, protecting IoT/IoMT systems from cyber-attacks has become essential. Thus, this paper proposes a machine-learning- and a deep-learning-based approach to creating an effective model in the IoMT system to classify and predict unforeseen cyber-attacks/threats. First, the dataset is preprocessed efficiently, and the Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) algorithm is employed to select the optimized feature. Finally, machine learning and deep learning algorithms are applied to detect cyber-attack in IoMT. Results reveal that the proposed approach achieved an accuracy of 99.85%, outperforming other techniques and existing studies.

Data shared between hospitals and patients using mobile and wearable Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices raises privacy concerns due to the methods used in training. the development of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and related technologies and the most current advances in these areas The Internet of Medical Things and other recent technological advancements have transformed the traditional healthcare system into a smart one. improvement in computing power and the spread of information have transformed the healthcare system into a high-tech, data-driven operation. On the other hand, mobile and wearable IoMT devices present privacy concerns regarding the data transmitted between hospitals and end users because of the way in which artificial intelligence is trained (AI-centralized). In terms of machine learning (AI-centralized). Devices connected to the IoMT network transmit highly confidential information that could be intercepted by adversaries. Due to the portability of electronic health record data for clinical research made possible by medical cyber-physical systems, the rate at which new scientific discoveries can be made has increased. While AI helps improve medical informatics, the current methods of centralised data training and insecure data storage management risk exposing private medical information to unapproved foreign organisations. New avenues for protecting users' privacy in IoMT without requiring access to their data have been opened by the federated learning (FL) distributive AI paradigm. FL safeguards user privacy by concealing all but gradients during training. DeepFed is a novel Federated Deep Learning approach presented in this research for the purpose of detecting cyber threats to intelligent healthcare CPSs.

The framework presented in this article provides a guide for designing secure and sustainable internet of medical things (IoMT) solutions. The main objective is to address the challenges related to safety and sustainability in the medical field. The critical conditions driving these challenges are identified, and future trends in the field of IoMT are discussed. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a case study was carried out in a private medical clinic. In this study, an IoMT system was implemented to monitor patients’ vital signs, even when they were not in the clinic. The positive results demonstrated that the implemented IoMT system met the established security and sustainability requirements. The main statistical findings of the case study include the real-time monitoring of the vital signs of the patients, which improved the quality of care and allowed for the early detection of possible complications. In addition, medical devices such as the blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter, and electrocardiograph were selected, proving safe, durable, and energy and maintenance efficient. These results were consistent with previous research that had shown the benefits of IoMT in remote monitoring, the early detection of health problems, and improved medical decision-making.
