Summary

The Healthcare sector (a.k.a medical industry) offers opportunities to provide smart healthcare solutions like health monitoring, assessment, personal data security, and protection. Significant disruptive trends are reshaping the world and reforming the health industry today. Smart Healthcare systems are deeply connected with smartphones, wearable devices, and the internet of things (IoT). In this context, Ambient assisted living (AAL) has a prominent role in improving scalability in healthcare services, making them reachable to older people, and keeping the user safe in their home environments. Meanwhile, patient data and other critical clinical records are effortlessly transmitted over the network. This data not just give an insight to Healthcare specialists but also give the researcher the premise to provide an optimal solution. Organizations are adopting new approaches to turning data insights into valuable results. Many smart obtrusive devices and systems grow exponentially, resulting in a lack of security and privacy management, structuring medical data. A considerable measure of gathered information to battle the COVID-19 pandemic raises numerous security and protection concerns in this period. In this manner, appropriate medical data privacy and security are getting similarly significant in smart healthcare systems.


Considering these facts, this issue focuses on the researchers investigating and sharing groundbreaking ideas, approaches, hypotheses, and practices centered around smart health monitoring systems, analytics, data security, and privacy for healthcare industries.


This special issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics:

• Connected healthcare, Ambient assisted living (AAL)

• Remote Patient Care Monitoring, Telemedicine system, Medical Management system

    Abstract In this paper, we present a comprehensive system model for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks empowered by Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technologies. The network comprises essential components such as base stations, edge servers, and numerous IIoT devices characterized by limited energy and computing capacities. The central challenge addressed is the optimization of resource allocation and task distribution while adhering to stringent queueing delay constraints and minimizing overall energy consumption. The system operates in discrete time slots and employs a quasi-static approach, with a specific focus on the complexities of task partitioning and the management… More >

    Abstract The healthcare data requires accurate disease detection analysis, real-time monitoring, and advancements to ensure proper treatment for patients. Consequently, Machine Learning methods are widely utilized in Smart Healthcare Systems (SHS) to extract valuable features from heterogeneous and high-dimensional healthcare data for predicting various diseases and monitoring patient activities. These methods are employed across different domains that are susceptible to adversarial attacks, necessitating careful consideration. Hence, this paper proposes a crossover-based Multilayer Perceptron (CMLP) model. The collected samples are pre-processed and fed into the crossover-based multilayer perceptron neural network to detect adversarial attacks on the medical records of patients. Once an… More >

    Abstract The healthcare sector holds valuable and sensitive data. The amount of this data and the need to handle, exchange, and protect it, has been increasing at a fast pace. Due to their nature, software-defined networks (SDNs) are widely used in healthcare systems, as they ensure effective resource utilization, safety, great network management, and monitoring. In this sector, due to the value of the data, SDNs face a major challenge posed by a wide range of attacks, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) and probe attacks. These attacks reduce network performance, causing the degradation of different key performance indicators (KPIs)… More >
