Securing 5G-Enabled Internet of Medical Things in Healthcare: Vulnerabilities, Threats, and Architectural Framework

Integrating cutting-edge technology. such as the fusion of healthcare with the Internet of Things (IoT) through the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), is transforming the healthcare industry. Real-time monitoring, data analysis, and remote patient management are made possible by this integration. The continuous collection, transport, and analysis of medical data made possible by 5G and IoMT results in better patient care and individualised treatments. In addition to supporting time-sensitive medical applications, 5G's high bandwidth capacity enables effective telemedicine consultations, remote monitoring, and collaborative healthcare practises. Additionally, 5G's capacity to manage several linked devices at once guarantees real-time monitoring without interruption, while its improved security features safeguard patient information and guarantee confidentiality. To ensure data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance, the convergence of 5G and IoMT also creates security challenges that must be addressed. To create secure 5G-enabled smart healthcare systems, a layered architectural framework is suggested. This framework will enable efficient, dependable, and secure healthcare services while adjusting to the changing state of healthcare technology,
