Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has emerged as an integral part of the smart health monitoring system in the present world. The smart health monitoring deals with not only for emergency and hospital services but also for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The industry 5.0 and 5/6G has allowed the development of cost-efficient sensors and devices which can collect a wide range of human biological data and transfer it through wireless network communication in real time. This led to real-time monitoring of patient data through multiple IoMT devices from remote locations. The IoMT network registers a large number of patients and devices every day, along with the generation of huge amount of big data or health data. This patient data should retain data privacy and data security on the IoMT network to avoid any misuse. To attain such data security and privacy of the patient and IoMT devices, a three-level/tier network integrated with blockchain and interplanetary file system (IPFS) has been proposed. The proposed network is making the best use of IPFS and blockchain technology for security and data exchange in a three-level healthcare network. The present framework has been evaluated for various network activities for validating the scalability of the network. The network was found to be efficient in handling complex data with the capability of scalability.

Accurate traffic sensor data is essential for traffic operation management systems and acquisition of real-time traffic surveillance data depends heavily on the reliability of the traffic sensors (e.g., wide range detector, automatic traffic recorder). Therefore, detecting the health status of the sensors in a traffic sensor network is critical for the departments of transportation as well as other public and private entities, especially in the circumstances where real-time decision is required. With the purpose of efficiently determining the sensor health status and identifying the failed sensor(s) in a timely manner, this paper proposes a graphical modeling approach called spatiotemporal pattern network (STPN). Traffic speed and volume measurement sensors are used in this paper to formulate and analyze the proposed sensor health monitoring system and historical time-series data from a network of traffic sensors on the Interstate 35 (I-35) within the state of Iowa is used for validation. Based on the validation results, we demonstrate that the proposed approach can: (i) extract spatiotemporal dependencies among the different sensors which leads to an efficient graphical representation of the sensor network in the information space, and (ii) distinguish and quantify a sensor issue by leveraging the extracted spatiotemporal relationship of the candidate sensor(s) to the other sensors in the network.

The future of biology will be increasingly driven by the fundamental paradigm shift from hypothesis-driven research to data-driven discovery research employing the growing volume of biological data coupled to experimental testing of new discoveries. But hardware and software limitations in the current workflow infrastructure make it impossible or intractible to use real data from disparate sources for large-scale biological research. We identify key technological developments needed to enable this paradigm shift involving (1) the ability to store and manage extremely large datasets which are dispersed over a wide geographical area, (2) development of novel analysis and visualization tools which are capable of operating on enormous data resources without overwhelming researchers with unusable information, and (3) formalisms for integrating mathematical models of biosystems from the molecular level to the organism population level. This will require the development of algorithms and tools which efficiently utilize high-performance compute power and large storage infrastructures. The end result will be the ability of a researcher to integrate complex data from many different sources with simulations to analyze a given system at a wide range of temporal and spatial scales in a single conceptual model.

Online telemedicine systems are useful due to the possibility of timely and efficient healthcare services. These systems are based on advanced wireless and wearable sensor technologies. The rapid growth in technology has remarkably enhanced the scope of remote health monitoring systems. In this paper, a real-time heart monitoring system is developed considering the cost, ease of application, accuracy, and data security. The system is conceptualized to provide an interface between the doctor and the patients for two-way communication. The main purpose of this study is to facilitate the remote cardiac patients in getting latest healthcare services which might not be possible otherwise due to low doctor-to-patient ratio. The developed monitoring system is then evaluated for 40 individuals (aged between 18 and 66 years) using wearable sensors while holding an Android device (i.e., smartphone under supervision of the experts). The performance analysis shows that the proposed system is reliable and helpful due to high speed. The analyses showed that the proposed system is convenient and reliable and ensures data security at low cost. In addition, the developed system is equipped to generate warning messages to the doctor and patient under critical circumstances.

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are introduced to improve individuals’ quality of life by offering a wide range of services. They collect a huge amount of data and exchange them with each other and the infrastructure. The collected data usually includes sensitive information about the users and the surrounding environment. Therefore, data security and privacy are among the main challenges in this industry. Blockchain, an emerging distributed ledger, has been considered by the research community as a potential solution for enhancing data security, integrity, and transparency in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, despite the emphasis of governments on the transparency of personal data protection practices, CAV stakeholders have not been successful in communicating appropriate information with the end users regarding the procedure of collecting, storing, and processing their personal data, as well as the data ownership. This article provides a vision of the opportunities and challenges of adopting blockchain in ITS from the “data transparency” and “privacy” perspective. The main aim is to answer the following questions: (1) Considering the amount of personal data collected by the CAVs, such as location, how would the integration of blockchain technology affect transparency , fairness , and lawfulness of personal data processing concerning the data subjects (as this is one of the main principles in the existing data protection regulations)? (2) How can the trade-off between transparency and privacy be addressed in blockchain-based ITS use cases?

The amazing fusion of the internet of things (IoT) into traditional health monitoring systems has produced remarkable advances in the field of e-health. Different wireless body area network devices and sensors are providing real-time health monitoring services. As the number of IoT devices is rapidly booming, technological and security challenges are also rising day by day. The data generated from sensor-based devices need confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and end-to-end security for safe communication over the public network. IoT-based health monitoring systems work in a layered manner, comprising a perception layer, a network layer, and an application layer. Each layer has some security, and privacy concerns that need to be addressed accordingly. A lot of research has been conducted to resolve these security issues in different domains of IoT. Several frameworks for the security of IoT-based e-health systems have also been developed. This paper introduces a security framework for real-time health monitoring systems to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity by using two common IoT protocols, namely constrained application protocol (CoAP) and message query telemetry transports (MQTT). This security framework aims to defend sensor data against the security loopholes while it is continuously transmitting over the layers and uses hypertext transfer protocols (HTTPs) for this purpose. As a result, it shields from the breach with a very low ratio of risk. The methodology of this paper focuses on how the security framework of IoT-based real-time health systems is protected under the tiers of CoAP and HTTPs. CoAP works alongside HTTPs and is responsible for providing end-to-end security solutions.


Remote health monitoring has become a hot topic research due to its multi-dimensional benefits to the society. This paper is aimed at developing a novel remote health monitoring model through wireless sensor networks to ensure efficient telemedicine process. The proposed model, Real-time Remote Healthcare and Telemedicine (RRHT) utilizes the concept of model based design to provide low cost and time saving efficiency. First the low power consuming sensor nodes are placed at specified body points with facility to monitor and reduce the power consumption at each stage of the designed model. These nodes collect the patient data and transmit them in wireless medium through the gateway where the data are combined to form documents/notes. Autonomous optimized routing algorithm is employed at this stage for transmission through efficient wireless paths to the processor connected at the hospitals or health centers. At the processor, the transmitted patient data documents are clustered using ontology enabled clustering models using chicken swarm optimization (CSO) and genetic chicken swarm optimization (GCSO). The clustered results are comparatively analyzed with the previous patient database and to determine the change in health readings. Based on these findings, the suitable medication details along with advice on hospital visits are suggested by the decision module and are sent to the physicians or medical experts for approval and further diagnosis. The performance analysis shows that the proposed RRHT system with GCSO clustering is highly reliable and accurate with better speed and lower cost. These results also prove that the RRHT significantly improved the healthcare application through the utilization of better strategies in document clustering of patient data.
