Abstract

 The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is like a tech upgrade that benefits patients by reducing healthcare
costs, making medical care more accessible, and improving the quality of treatment. To make IoMT devices smart and capable,
they need super-fast 5G support. However, there are security concerns when using IoMT devices that can put a patient's data
and privacy at risk. For instance, someone could eavesdrop on your medical data due to weak network access management and
data encryption. Many systems use encryption methods to protect data, but these methods often fall short when it comes to the
high security standards required for healthcare data and patient service quality. In our research, we introduce a new solution
called the Hybrid MD5 and Threefish Encryption (HMTE) to make IoMT more secure and improve the quality of care for
patients. To ensure efficient use of energy, we employ a smart approach when choosing a cluster head. When it comes to
sending data, we use the Trust-Based Energy Efficient Routing Protocol (TEERP). We carefully evaluate different aspects like
cost, encryption and decryption speed, and the level of security while analyzing our proposed method. We also compare our
solution with existing methods. Our data shows that our recommended solution outperforms existing methods, particularly in
terms of enhancing security to improve the quality of care for patients.
