Objective:

To propose a hierarchical framework for intelligent and secure IoMT-based healthcare monitoring that addresses data privacy, real-time processing, and energy efficiency challenges.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • The proposed system significantly reduces latency for critical alerts.
    • It improves the battery life of IoT nodes to 8.5 days compared to conventional non-adaptive offloading.
    • The framework facilitates energy-efficient, privacy-preserving, and real-time healthcare monitoring.
    Interpretation:

    The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed framework in addressing the challenges of IoMT.

    Limitations:
    • The study's experimental validation was conducted on a Raspberry Pi 5 testbed, which may not fully represent all IoMT environments.
    • Further research is needed to evaluate the framework's performance in diverse and complex healthcare scenarios.
    Conclusion:

    The proposed hierarchical framework enhances the security and energy efficiency of IoMT healthcare monitoring.
