With advancements in sensor technology and IoT-enabled networks, their applications in the medical field have led to the development of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). In IoMT, sensor nodes monitor and evaluate patient conditions such as heartbeat, blood sugar levels, blood pressure and temperature, and can also remotely track patient activities through remote analysis. These IoMT systems utilize tiny sensors with limited communication ranges to gather essential patient information. Wireless devices are equipped with a short range and need a direct communication path. However, transmitting data from the source node to the destination node ultimately results in energy consumption and path loss. Path loss models and energy consumption models are essential to address these issues. In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol named Energy Efficient and Path Loss Preserving (EEPLP) for IoMT. The EEPLP protocol focuses on energy efficiency and path loss preservation based on the relay approach. Two models are being proposed, one for path loss and the other for energy consumption. Finally, both models are merged since the major contribution is to avoid path loss and enhance the protocol\u2019s energy efficiency. The EEPLP evaluates the state-of-the-art existing approaches of IoMT. The protocol is evaluated by simulating conditions and compared with other similar routing protocols already deployed in the IoMT; it has been observed that the EEPLP scheme has the potential to be maneuvered in IoMT structures with core targets of energy efficiency as well as path loss preservation techniques. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218126625502640","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T04:48:51Z","timestamp":1740804531000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Unleashing the Potentials of IoT with Focus on Energy and Path Loss for Internet of Medical Things"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7923-9652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Altaf","family":"Hussain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, P.\u00a0R.\u00a0China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3914-5173","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuaiyong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Industrial Internet of Things and Networked Control, Ministry of Education, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, P.\u00a0R.\u00a0China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9819-7945","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Razaz Waheeb","family":"Attar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Management Department, College of Business Administration, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, P.
