Article Abstract
Wireless connectivity delay, disruption, or failure can significantly affect the performance of wireless-enabled medical devices, which in turn causes potential risks to the patient. Notably, the challenges related to connectivity provisioning are exacerbated in the fifth-generation (5G)-enabled healthcare use cases where mobility is utilized. In this article, we describe relevant 5G-enabled healthcare use cases involving mobility and identify the connectivity challenges that they face. We then illustrate practical implementation considerations, tradeoffs, and future research directions for enabling reliable 5G healthcare transmissions. This is done through simulation of connected ambulances as an example use-case.

IEEE J Biomed Health Inform
June 2024
IoT and 5G-enabled smart healthcare allows medical practitioners to diagnose patients from any location via electronic health records (EHRs) by wireless body area network (WBAN) devices. Privacy, including the medical practitioner's identity and the patient's EHR, can easily be leaked from hospitals or cloud servers, and secret keys used to access EHRs must be revoked after diagnosis. In response to the challenges associated with user authentication and secret key revocation, this paper proposes an access control scheme with privacy-preserving authentication and flexible revocation for smart healthcare using attribute-based encryption (ABE), named PAFR-ABE, which provides access control to prevent malicious users from decrypting EHRs.
