Abstract Introducing IoT devices to healthcare fields has made it possible to remotely monitor patients’ information and provide a proper diagnosis as needed, resulting in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). However, obtaining good security features that ensure the integrity and confidentiality of patient’s information is a significant challenge. However, due to the computational resources being limited, an edge device may struggle to handle heavy detection tasks such as complex machine learning algorithms. Therefore, designing and developing a lightweight detection mechanism is crucial. To address the aforementioned challenges, a new lightweight IDS approach is developed to effectively combat a diverse range… More >

Abstract Patient privacy and data protection have been crucial concerns in E-healthcare systems for many years. In modern-day applications, patient data usually holds clinical imagery, records, and other medical details. Lately, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), equipped with cloud computing, has come out to be a beneficial paradigm in the healthcare field. However, the openness of networks and systems leads to security threats and illegal access. Therefore, reliable, fast, and robust security methods need to be developed to ensure the safe exchange of healthcare data generated from various image sensing and other IoMT-driven devices in the IoMT network.

Abstract Blockchain technology promotes the development of the Internet of medical things (IoMT) from the centralized form to distributed trust mode as blockchain-based Internet of medical things (BIoMT). Although blockchain improves the cross-institution data sharing ability, there still exist the problems of authentication difficulty and privacy leakage. This paper first describes the architecture of the BIoMT system and designs an anonymous authentication model for medical data sharing. This BIoMT system is divided into four layers: perceptual, network, platform, and application. The model integrates an anonymous authentication scheme to guarantee secure data sharing in the network ledger. Utilizing the untampered blockchain ledger… More >

Abstract The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) enables digital devices to gather, infer, and broadcast health data via the cloud platform. The phenomenal growth of the IoMT is fueled by many factors, including the widespread and growing availability of wearables and the ever-decreasing cost of sensor-based technology. There is a growing interest in providing solutions for elderly people living assistance in a world where the population is rising rapidly. The IoMT is a novel reality transforming our daily lives. It can renovate modern healthcare by delivering a more personalized, protective, and collaborative approach to care. However, the current healthcare system for… More >

Abstract The lungs are the main fundamental part of the human respiratory system and are among the major organs of the human body. Lung disorders, including Coronavirus (Covid-19), are among the world’s deadliest and most life-threatening diseases. Early and social distance-based detection and treatment can save lives as well as protect the rest of humanity. Even though X-rays or Computed Tomography (CT) scans are the imaging techniques to analyze lung-related disorders, medical practitioners still find it challenging to analyze and identify lung cancer from scanned images. unless COVID-19 reaches the lungs, it is unable to be diagnosed. through these modalities. So,… More >
