for Special Section on
5G Edge computing enabled Internet of Medical Things
Theme: With the growth of 5G and edge computing, the healthcare technologies are drifted away from the local clinics to
monitor the patients remotely who need it utmost especially in pandemic scenario. The edge computing architecture makes the
generation of data easier and its consumption by the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) like physician’s notebooks, nurses'
smartphones, sensor-based patient-monitoring tools and other healthcare technologies. Numerous developments in
forthcoming accessibility for more remote healthcare facilities has been increased with 5G edge computing. Advanced
Artificial Intelligence technologies has also accelerated the growth in various the applications like safety of patients,
management of chronic diseases, safety of drug supply chain and so on. On the patient safety and monitoring front, cameras
and sensors can inform risk management strategies by tracking compliance with hospital sanitation policies and generating
data that is easy to process and analyze. The sensors and devices that facilitate the continuous patient monitoring could alert
providers of clinically meaningful changes and opportunities for early interventions. Those same sensors could be used to
reduce risks in the drug supply chain, alerting managers to issues such as temperature changes in vaccines during transportation.
The IoMT has brought together the people (patients, clinicians, caregivers); processes (patient care and support); enablers
(mobile applications and connected medical devices) and data (patient performance and data) for delivering outcome of patients
effectively and efficiently. IoMT has infused the 5G edge computing high-speed wireless technologies of medical care like
with connected solutions for real time remote monitoring and analysis. With this, IoMT is capable of improving the patient’s
outcomes by boosting accessibility, empowering the patients to take control of their health, driving efficiencies and streamlines
communication, preventing the spread of disease with solutions for in-home care, allowing for convenience and bringing
expertise to remote areas, enhancing collaboration across healthcare teams and providing more holistic view to providers.
Another promising frontier is where AI and edge computing intersect is Edge AI. Edge AI shifts AI-enabled decision-making
closer to where data resides by enabling the devices to process data faster than centralized IoMT models can, facilitating more
automated, real time, and secure user experience for patients and healthcare providers. Healthcare 5.0 is a boon in the medical
domain as it provides various functions, such as remotely monitoring of the patient health, reducing the inventory to store the
patient data digitally, and providing awareness about the next stage of diseases, as well as providing automated detection and
diagnosis of diseases from the multi-modality images, controlling complex surgeries and analyzing the patient data for effective
diagnosis and treatment. Now a days, IoMT is a growing trend for the potential delivery of fast and precise medical services.
Various body sensors in IoT-based systems are integrated with AI, cloud computing, machine learning, and wearable devices
for providing promising solutions in healthcare. However, IoT in healthcare faces various challenging issues including scarcity
of accurate and cost-effective smart healthcare sensors; the trust concerns related to the security and privacy of healthcare data;
scarcity of interoperability and uniform standards across the eHealthcare appliances; heterogeneous and multi-dimensional
healthcare data. 5G enabled IoeHT to provide faster connectivity as compared to the traditional 4G networks. Telehealth tools
with 5G and edge computing technology can also attain accessible routine checkups. Patients in rural and remote areas can
connect over videos with their physicians for routine care and consultation. The IoMT enabled 5G and edge computing
technology provides various services through an infrastructure of connected medical devices, software applications, and health
systems.The special issue invites original research in the field of IoMT for eHealth. In this issue, a cutting-edge progression in
the area of 5G edge computing enabled IoMT would be discussed by introducing efficient and innovative solutions. Further,
future directions of research and developments in Healthcare 5.0 would be considered to handle the various issues and
challenges in this field.
