Health is a crucial part of every person; sometimes, a person may have an unstable condition such as a disease or illness. For people to revert to good condition, they may need intensive care provided by hospitals. Nowadays, hospitals have become busier because of rapid growth in population. Due to this, doctors, nurses, paramedics, and administrative staff are struggling to handle them. A solution to this problem is the use of technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) to upgrade hospitals to smart hospitals including doing medical works like monitoring patients’ data and performing various scanning tasks at a faster rate.
The “smart hospitals” concept is a comprehensive integration of 5th generation (5G) technology with cloud computing, big data analytics, IoT, and artificial intelligence (AI). The integration of 5G in smart hospitals encompasses several key elements—5G healthcare terminals, including medically integrated terminals, information collection and display terminals, and auxiliary terminals. The 5G healthcare-dedicated network employs network slicing, a dedicated user plane function (UPF), and multi-access edge computation for tailored medical networks, efficient data transmission, and low-latency processing. The healthcare-dedicated cloud manages network capabilities, computation resources, and medical applications. 5G healthcare applications showcase production efficiency and smart medical services. The healthcare-dedicated network architecture includes local, wide-area, and dynamic networks for intra- and inter-hospital services along with out-of-hospital medical services. The integration with existing medical systems and a unified platform management layer ensures seamless cloud–network integration, gradual migration, and efficient resource management. The aim of the chapter is to create a flexible ecosystem utilizing 5G technology for enhanced healthcare services and patient outcomes.
Keywords: 5G, IoT, AI, integration, patients, cloud, hospital, medical
Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being; it is not just the absence of disease or illness [1]. The word “hospital” is derived from the Latin word “hospice,” which means guest. Hospitals are institutions that provide medical and surgical treatment along with nursing care for any sick or injured people [22]. Ensuring that those in need of receiving comprehensive healthcare, including preventive and curative treatments, is a fundamental role of social and medical organizations. It serves as a center for biosocial research, as well as a training center for health workers [21].
Hospitals are part of a social structure, which again have a subsystem, like supportive and utility services, clinical services with heterogeneous group of people like doctors, nurses, paramedics, and administrative staff all working together to provide medical care to patients [2]. The pandemic has brought to our attention and intensified the challenges faced by the healthcare industry. Numerous problems exist such as excessive doctor workloads, disgruntled patients, and disorganized facilities where staff members spend hours looking for essential equipment [3]. The rise of “informed patients,” who reject passive treatment, is another significant issue. They expect greater details and a vote during treatment [24]. To be able to transform their facilities into “smart hospitals,” which will enable them to handle the pandemic and center their offerings on the patient, numerous healthcare facilities have already turned to healthcare technology businesses [23].
The main contributions of this chapter are as follows:
A new method is defined to implement smart hospitals.
This method involves a layered approach using 5G.
Comfort and convenience can be improved through this method.
A detailed description of this framework is provided.
As a result, we can observe that 5G can support high-resolution medical imaging and diagnostic tools.
Smart hospitals are designed to leverage optimized and automated processes based on the information and communication technology (ICT) environment to improve current patient care methods and introduce new features at a minimal cost [3]. Data and technology are used by smart hospitals to increase patient care and operational efficiency. They work in a setting that is highly optimized and automated. These healthcare facilities use data analytics, artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, and linked equipment. Each hospital will have different designs and common functions for its smart room, but they all enhance patient experience, expedite the clinical process, and promote collaboration.
The patients are clients and should receive personalized attention from healthcare facilities, which serve as the basis for smart hospitals. Since the word “customer” connotes a more engaged and exacting consumer, astute hospitals try their hardest to provide a distinctive experience rather than only concentrate on medical care. They even provide their services to the carers of their patients. For example, a health librarian employed by Stanford Hospital will assist family members [2].
A crowded hospital has many moving components such as patients, hospital employees, medicine, and medical equipment. Artificial intelligence automation offers a chance to streamline the operations throughout the institution. Even while a patient cannot always have a doctor or nurse by their side, patients can be closely monitored by a mix of smart sensors and intelligent video analytics, which can notify medical professionals when a patient is in distress and needs care. For example, patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) are linked to monitoring equipment that takes their vital signs continuously. Many of these beep repeatedly with different alerts, which occasionally causes medical professionals to miss the alarm from a single sensor. The smart hospital can be compared to an octopus. The secure server of the organization, which houses and manages all the facility’s data, serves as its brain. Every department within its tentacles—radiology lab, ICU, emergency room (ER), and operating room, for example—is covered in sensors, or “octopus’ suckers,” that gather information from their environment. It would be impossible for the octopus to respond quickly throughout its entire body based on information sensed by a single arm if each tentacle functioned independently. The octopus can adapt to its changing surroundings because each tentacle relays data back to the central brain.
Similar to this, the smart hospital is a hub-and-spoke system with sensors placed throughout the building that may relay important information back to a central hub, assisting in the making of choices that affect the entire facility. Artificial intelligence would notify personnel in the recovery room to get ready for the patient’s arrival, for example, if video feeds in the operating room indicate that a surgical procedure is almost finished.
Medical device companies, academic medical centers, and startups are using an end-to-end AI platform that integrates with the entire hospital network to power smart hospital solutions. This platform powers everything from medical devices running real-time applications to secure servers that store and process data over an extended period. It is compatible with several software libraries, cloud, edge, and data center infrastructure, as well as international partner ecosystem. Data are compiled by smart hospitals using intricately linked systems. The different systems like lighting, climate control, and shading are combined in one infrastructure (total room automation) at the ward level, where integration begins. Smart hospitals are patient-focused establishments that exchange data with other organizations and are integrated into an ecosystem. Programmers for healthcare management are offered in a variety of settings within this ecosystem, such as patient homes and gyms. Hospitals are generally designed to handle sophisticated treatments, such as critical care and surgery. Technologywise, smart hospitals use the Internet of Things (IoT) and employ a variety of new technologies such as big data analytics, 5G, AI, augmented reality (AR), and cloud platforms. The architecture of smart hospitals is shown in Figure 1.1.

In this section, a literature review on different approaches adapted by different authors is discussed.
Anuj Raghav and Paliwal [1] introduced a comprehensive conceptual framework for smart architecture, emphasizing energy conservation and security/interoperability. Central to their approach is the building management system (BMS), a multi-layered design consisting of cameras and end-of-system components at the field layer, middleware for the integration of physical and cyber systems, and the efficient management layer for decision-making based on intelligent network insights. In addressing security and interoperability, Raghav et al. leveraged IoT technologies, employing a hybrid network architecture that blends star and mesh topologies. Each floor and room feature sensor and actuator networks (Internet protocol version 6 over low-power wireless personal area networks: 6LoWPANs) linked to microcontrollers. These microcontrollers collect data from network nodes, transmitting it to gateways through IPv6 connections. Gateways, comprising local databases and routers, then relay the data to remote cloud platforms. The cloud platform, housing a database and server, serves as the ultimate destination for data storage and analysis. This system enhances a hospital’s energy efficiency while ensuring a robust security framework through interconnected IoT technologies.
Arun Kumar et al.[2] advocated for the implementation of MicroStation technology to address the high data rates, ranges from 112 Mbps to 1.8 Gbps, required for medical applications like remote surgery and emergency clinic. The MicroStation includes microcells, femtocells, and picocells, which function as small cells compared to large-scale cells. Femtocells enhance coverage and capacity in confined spaces, while picocells extend wireless coverage in small areas. Microcells, similar to picocells, differ in coverage area and support more users. These small cells increase area range efficiency through higher frequency reuse. The architecture incorporates body area networks (BANs) comprising IoT devices to monitor health parameters. Due to the growing reliance on connected medical devices, the risk of cyberattacks on patient data transmission increases. Patient data from BANs are transmitted to macro base stations (MBS) in three scenarios: directly through a millimeter (mm) link backhaul if the BAN is close to MBS, via MBS transmission line if the BAN is far, and through small base stations (SBS) if the BAN is much farther. The MBS, equipped with smart antennas and 5G technology, uses massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) for efficient data transfer to the 5G network, which is directly linked to a central data center. The data center stores and analyzes all patient information to provide accurate outputs to users. This comprehensive system ensures the secure and efficient transmission of medical data for improved healthcare outcomes.
Abdul Ahad et al.[3] presented a comprehensive 5G-based smart healthcare architecture incorporating key enabler technologies such as advanced MIMO, software-defined networking (SDN), device-to-device (D2D) communication, mm waves, small cells, network functions virtualization (NFV), and edge computing. Addressing security concerns, the system focuses on authentication, confidentiality, availability, nonrepudiation, and integrity. Given the high data rates demanded by smart healthcare applications, small cells, including femtocells, picocells, and microcells, are utilized to enhance capacity and coverage in limited areas. Security measures include primary and secondary authentication for mutual verification between medical devices and networks, with primary authentication supporting non-3G partnership project (3GPP) technologies. Confidentiality is ensured through key generation and exchange, involving the master base node (MeNB) and secondary next-generation base node (SgNB), providing privacy and authenticity for radio resource control (RRC) messages and user plane (UP) data. The incorporation of these components is intended to fulfill the data transfer speed needs of sophisticated healthcare applications, all the while ensuring the network’s resilience against possible security risks and attacks.
In the development of smart hospitals, Suganthi et al.[4] employed IoMT and introduced an innovative approach. The system was organized into three main facets: the patient side, nurse side, and doctor side. On the patient side, various sensors, including a temperature sensor for room temperature control, an ultrasonic sensor for monitoring saline levels in a Trips bottle, and a light-dependent resistor (LDR) for light monitoring, were integrated. The sensor data were directly transmitted to a universal serial bus (USB), which served as the conduit for transmitting data to the Arduino Circuit. The collected data were then formatted using MQ telemetry transport (MQTT), a crucial element for data subscription awareness. The MQTT played a pivotal role in managing electronic devices such as fans. The doctors received sensor data through an Android application connected to the server, and prescriptions were sent from the server to the patients via Android Apps. All these data transfers were facilitated through the WIFI module. Subsequently, the acquired data were uploaded to the doctors’ app, aiding in the administration of patient treatment. The prescribed medication from the doctor was then dispatched to the patients by the nurse, completing the integrated healthcare system.
A system developed by Aditi Khekale et al.[5] operates exclusively on IoT and a WIFI module, which serves the dual purpose of keeping patient information up to date. This module enables prompt actions by doctors and hospital staff based on the patient’s condition, allowing for immediate medical interventions. The initial component includes a fan, light, and ultrasonic sensor that gather patient data, transmitting it to an Arduino mega (ATMEGA Atmel328PU) integrated with an Ethernet shield (W5100) via USB. An essential intermediary in this setup is the web server, which acts as a bridge between users and the Arduino. The server’s primary functions include storing, processing, and delivering web pages to users through the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). These pages primarily consist of HTML documents containing images, style sheets, and scripts. In cases of high website traffic, multiple servers may be employed. The sensors generate data, transmitted to the Arduino mega board via USB, and then forwarded to the server using the WIFI module. To monitor the received data, individuals need to subscribe to the web server, allowing hospital staff to oversee the information. The web platform is utilized for switch control, managing electrical appliances and lighting. If the room temperature surpasses a predetermined level, the data are sent to the webpage, where it can be accessed either from the webpage itself or a mobile device [26].
This paper by Jyoti Srivastava et al.[6] summarized the vision of IoMT, a framework based on smart healthcare system, designed in different stages. The first stage is to gather real-time data from patients using various digital electronic devices like smart watches or implemented devices connected using a BSN or wireless sensor network (WSN). The second stage focuses on transferring data from a BSN to remote center over the Internet for future analysis. The help of AI-based data transmission and interpretation technique is employed, but in case of serious situations, healthcare professionals or other medical necessities can be alerted through AI-based applications on smartphones [25]. For less critical cases, patients can implement self-preventive measures.
Bingwen Zhou and Zhang [7] presented a smart medical framework that uses the advantages of resource integration and provide real-time health and medical services. The smart framework consists of the software, business, and hardware frameworks. Their idea is to keep all medical resources in the cloud. Patients can benefit from various medical services through the platform integrated with the help of medical institutions; they provide accurate medical-records editing services for patients through the same platform. From a business perspective, they provide online outpatient services. Patients can register an online appointment and pay in advance from this platform. Telemedicine service is designed for users in areas with underdeveloped medical facilities. Based on the symptoms, patients can consult doctors by text chatting. Doctors will then confirm the time of online diagnosis and treatment time.
Naik et al.[8] introduced a groundbreaking initiative in the realm of Diabetes 2.0 expenditure targeting the average user. They have proposed a 5G-Smart Diabetes application, representing an intelligent and cost-effective solution for diabetes diagnosis that ensures easy accessibility for users. This innovative approach capitalizes on 5G technologies, incorporating elements such as smart textiles, AI models, and the analysis of medical data [27]. The primary objective is to deliver a reliable detection and analysis platform for individuals dealing with diabetes. In their comprehensive study, the authors also outlined a data exchange mechanism among patients and introduced a personalized model utilizing medical data specifically tailored for the 5G-smart Diabetes application. The culmination of their efforts resulted in the development of a prototype system, consisting of smart textiles, smartphones, and medical data clouds. The research findings indicate the system’s effectiveness in successfully providing personalized diagnostic and therapeutic assistance to patients, showcasing the potential of the 5G-Smart Diabetes initiative in enhancing the overall management of diabetes.
J. Lloret et al.[9] stressed the critical importance of 5G technologies for real-time patient monitoring. They highlight that the deployment of 5G networks is essential due to their ability to provide low latency and ensure sufficient bandwidths for all users. The suggested system architecture comprises distinct elements, including wearable technology equipped with sensors for gathering body measurements. A smartphone positioned next to the patient processes the data obtained from the wearable technology. Additionally, there is a database incorporating a smart engine for diagnosis, which triggers alarms using machine learning algorithms applied to extensive big data sourced from diverse hospitals and patient records. Table 1.1 shows the comparison of the survey on smart hospitals.
