It consists of wearable sensors, physical objects, and electronic devices that collect health data, perform local processing, and later forward it to a cloud platform for further analysis. Most existing approaches focus on diagnosing health conditions and reporting them to medical experts for personalized treatment. However, they overlook the need to provide dynamic approaches to address the unpredictable nature of the healthcare system, which relies on public infrastructure that all connected devices can access. Furthermore, the rapid processing of health data on constrained devices often leads to uneven load distribution and affects the system\u2019s responsiveness in critical circumstances. Our research study proposes a model based on AI-driven and edge computing technologies to provide a lightweight and innovative healthcare system. It enhances the learning capabilities of the system and efficiently detects network anomalies in a distributed IoMT network, without incurring additional overhead on a bounded system. The proposed model is verified and tested through simulations using synthetic data, and the obtained results prove its efficacy in terms of energy consumption by 53%, latency by 46%, packet loss rate by 52%, network throughput by 56%, and overhead by 48% than related solutions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering12111232","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]],"date-time":"2025-11-11T08:57:41Z","timestamp":1762851461000},"page":"1232","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Transforming Smart Healthcare Systems with AI-Driven Edge Computing for Distributed IoMT Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6613-0831","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maram Fahaad","family":"Almufareh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information System, College of Computer and Information Sciences, Jouf University, Sakaka 72388, Al-Jouf, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6339-2257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mamoona","family":"Humayun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment, University of Roehampton, London SW15 5PH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6657-9308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khalid","family":"Haseeb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Islamia College Peshawar, Peshawar 25120, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ficili, I., Giacobbe, M., Tricomi, G., and Puliafito, A.
