Abstract

Advancements in Healthcare Internet of Things (H-IoT) systems have created new opportunities and solutions for healthcare services, including the remote treatment and monitoring of patients. In addition, the security and privacy of personal health data must be ensured during data transfer. Security breaches in H-IoT can have serious safety and legal implications. This comprehensive review provides insights about secured data accession by employing cryptographic platforms such as H-IoT in big data, H-IoT in blockchain, H-IoT in machine learning and deep learning, H-IoT in edge computing, and H-IoT in software-defined networks. With this information, this paper reveals solutions to mitigate threats caused by different kinds of attacks. The prevailing challenges in H-IoT systems, including security and scalability challenges, real-time operating challenges, resource constraints, latency, and power consumption challenges are also addressed. We also discuss in detail the current trends in H-IoT, such as remote patient monitoring and predictive analytics. Additionally, we have explored future prospects, such as leveraging health data for informed strategic planning. A critical analysis performed by highlighting the prevailing limitations in H-IoT systems is also presented. This paper will hopefully provide future researchers with in-depth insights into the selection of appropriate cryptographic measures to adopt an energy-efficient and resource-optimized healthcare system.

  • AI applications in healthcare involve diagnostic assistance, medical image analysis, and predictive analytics for patient results, supporting healthcare providers in making data-driven decisions and reducing diagnostic mistakes.

    “AI applications in healthcare involve diagnostic assistance, medical image analysis, and predictive analytics for patient results, therefore supporting healthcare providers in making data-driven decisions and reducing diagnostic mistakes [98,99].”

    From Federated Learning in Smart Healthcare: A Comprehensive Review on Privacy, Security, and Predictive Analytics with IoT Integration (2024) · cites this paper as [99]

    Section 5.9 (page not available) describes an algorithm that analyzes medical images to aid diagnosis, while the Introduction and section 5.3 link health-data analysis to clinical decisions. Section 5.1 discusses predicting hospital visits and admissions, not patient outcomes. The cited passages do not establish that these applications reduce diagnostic mistakes. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • AI and ML are crucial in the modification of smart health systems, ensuring advanced data analysis and predictive modeling.

    “AI and ML are crucial in the modification of smart health systems, ensuring advanced data analysis and predictive modeling.”
  • Federated learning allows data to persist within the boundaries of its origin and supplies a decentralized model training method that aligns with healthcare privacy regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA.

    “By allowing data to persist within the boundaries of its origin (e.g., hospitals or IoT-enabled smart health devices), FL supplies a decentralized model training method that aligns well with rigid healthcare privacy regulations such as the GDPR and HIPAA [69].”

    From Federated Learning in Smart Healthcare: A Comprehensive Review on Privacy, Security, and Predictive Analytics with IoT Integration (2024) · cites this paper as [99]

    Section 3.2 (page not provided) proposes a fog-based 'federal system near the devices' for security, but does not describe federated learning or say that training data remain at their origin. Searches for federated learning, GDPR, and HIPAA found no passage connecting that training method to either regulation. (LLM, conf=0.72)

  • User authentication and role-based access control are implemented via Laravel's built-in mechanisms.

    “On the security side, user authentication and role-based access control [43] are implemented via Laravel's built-in mechanisms.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
