Guest Editorial: Special Section on 5G Edge Computing-Enabled Internet of Medical Things

The relationship between computing and healthcare has a long history, but adoption of telemedicine is gradual due to political resistance, lack of infrastructure development frameworks, and lack of resources. One of the most rapid technological advancements will be the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), which is predicted to bring about the greatest technological delivery ever. Edge computing in conjunction with 5G speed is the solution to achieve the requirements of quality of service metrics metrics during the analysis of clinical data. Artificial intelligence with edge computing has made significant contributions to the smart healthcare system's network for ultra-reliable communication in the areas of less delay, widespread device connectivity, and enhanced speed of data transmission. Since the edge-enabled IoMT-based system in the healthcare system offers a number of extraordinary potential, this Special Issue explores those areas of applicability. The aim of Special Issue is to cover the research difficulties associated with the implementation of edge computing-based IoMT systems in the healthcare system and suggests a framework for such a system.

Automated summary

The relationship between computing and healthcare has a long history, but the adoption of telemedicine has been slow due to political resistance, lack of infrastructure development frameworks, and lack of resources. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is expected to bring about significant advancements, particularly when combined with edge computing and 5G speed. Artificial intelligence and edge computing have played a crucial role in improving the network for reliable communication in smart healthcare systems.
