Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the emergence of smart homes, smart cities, and all things smart, healthcare has become an area of unbelievable influence and development. A total of 50 billion devices are expected to be linked by 2020, and 5G is going to enhance the service quality of the Internet of Health Things (IoHT). 5G offers dramatic bandwidth expansion, believed to be 100 times faster than 4G. In a nutshell, the combination of high-speed Internet, lower latency, and higher bandwidth will improve digital healthcare. Despite these benefits, the cyber security issues originating from 5G should not be an afterthought. The speed of 5G is indeed a threat if not addressed properly. 5G deployment without security consideration will create a catastrophe in healthcare and can endanger human lives. In healthcare, identity theft, invasion of privacy, and medical record management will become more challenging as massively increased numbers of devices and greater usage of virtualization and the cloud infrastructure will mean a broader, more varied cyber-attack surface.
This Special Issue aims at bringing together active researchers from across the globe to share their ideas and recent advances in this exciting area. Along with research contributions, we also welcome surveys of recent progress in this area. The list of possible topics includes but is not limited to:
- 5G in healthcare
- Cyber security
- Data analytics
- Machine learning
- Big data
- Edge computing
- Blockchain
- Drones
- Electronic health records
- Smart health
- Internet of Medical Things
- Adversarial machine learning
- False data injection attacks
- Privacy
