Enhancing Security and Energy Efficiency in Health Industry 5.0: Issues, Applications, and Research Opportunities

Abstract

The Health Industry 5.0 expansion relies on advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and big data, transforming healthcare and healthcare service delivery by introducing hyper-automation of activities, the customisation and personalisation of care, and patient-centric management of care delivery. The integration of these advanced technologies introduces security challenges, including data privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. This paper presents the evolution of the Health Industry 5.0, including the evolution of Health, and a security framework for the Health Industry 5.0 area that will address vulnerabilities and support security against threats. The framework will suggest introducing technologies such as encryption, AI-based threat activity detection, and blockchain to enhance data integrity and protect healthcare and health technology systems. Lastly, we will discuss the application to real-world practitioners and the implications of the security framework for future healthcare advances. Altogether, this paper will serve as a roadmap for adopting Health Industry 5.0 technologies, focusing on security, ethical and legal implications, emerging security trends, and compatibility with regulatory frameworks.
