The 5G networks, along with Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), can greatly transform healthcare applications, which in turn improves patient care. MEC plays an important role in the healthcare of patients by bringing computing resources to the edge of the network. It becomes part of an IoT system within healthcare that brings data closer to the core, speeds up decision-making, lowers latency, and improves the overall quality of care. While the usage of MEC and 5G networks is beneficial for healthcare purposes, there are some issues and difficulties that should be solved for the efficient introduction of this technological pair into healthcare. One of the critical issues that blockchain technology can help to overcome is the challenge faced by MEC in realizing the most potential applications involving IoT medical devices. This article presents a comprehensive literature review on IoT-based healthcare devices, which provide real-time solutions to patients, and discusses some major contributions made by MEC and 5G in the healthcare industry. The paper also discusses some of the limitations that 5G and MEC networks have in the IoT medical devices area, especially in the field of decentralized computing solutions. For this reason, the readership intended for this article is not only researchers but also graduate students.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13677-024-00654-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,2]],"date-time":"2024-05-02T09:02:26Z","timestamp":1714640546000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":77,"title":["Enhancing patient healthcare with mobile edge computing and 5G: challenges and solutions for secure online health tools"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yazeed Yasin","family":"Ghadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syed Faisal Abbas","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tehseen","family":"Mazhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tariq","family":"Shahzad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khmaies","family":"Ouahada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Habib","family":"Hamam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"654_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bhatt Y, Bhatt C (2017) Internet of things in healthcare Internet of things and big data technologies for next generation HealthCare, : pp. 13\u201333","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-49736-5_2"},{"key":"654_CR2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/8669348","author":"M Shafiq","year":"2022","unstructured":"Shafiq M et al (2022) The rise of internet of things: review and Open Research issues related to detection and Prevention of IoT-Based security attacks.
