AI is a contemporary methodology rooted in the field of computer science. It in-
volves the creation of programs and algorithms that fill devices with the ability to exhibit
intelligence and effectiveness in carrying out tasks typically requiring human expertise.
This is achieved through the utilization of various techniques, such as machine learning
(ML), deep learning (DL), conventional neural networks (CNN), fuzzy logic, and speech
recognition. At the same time, the IoMT arose as an innovative bio-analytical instrument
that integrates interconnected biomedical equipment with a software application to en-
hance human well-being. The implementation of AL and IoMT on medical data improves
the user’s quality of life, providing intelligent healthcare services. Technologies like AI
and IoMT enhance the analysis and processing of medical data in various applications.
The Special Issue will provide a concise summary of recent advancements in the subject,
identify the existing knowledge gaps, elucidate how these gaps are being addressed, and
culminate in a primary emphasis on future research that warrants attention.
The word “AI” was established by John McCarthy at a 1956 summit dedicated to
exploration in this field. Nevertheless, Alan Turing, an influential figure in the field, intro-
duced the concept of robots potentially emulating human behavior and exhibiting cognitive
abilities. He devised the Turing test to distinguish between people and machines [1]. The
use of AI methods has significant promise for integration across several domains within the
realm of medicine. There is a need for further well-planned clinical studies prior to the use
of these emerging strategies in the actual clinical environment [2]. Automated analytical
systems have been widely recognized as database systems that exhibit the capability to
scan medical images using computer technology and effectively handle large volumes of
data [3].
The integration of health-specific indicators with an Internet of Things (IoT)-based
health-observing system presents a complex study area that poses challenges in combining
them with the capacity to handle massive amounts of data. Numerous concepts are posited
to delineate the potential methodologies for monitoring and analyzing health issues by
means of IoT-based medical big data using deep learning algorithms [4]. The substantial
growth seen in the market for IoT medical devices may be attributed to the advancements
in high-speed networking technologies, as well as the rising prevalence of wearable devices,
smartphones, and other mobile platforms within the healthcare sector [5].
We started this Special Issue with the goal of promoting the use of AI and IoMT in the
analysis and processing of medical data, and we ended up with six papers in total, including
all the articles. These address several topics, including the prediction of COVID-19, the
classification of endoscopic images, the classification of ECG heartbeats, the compression
of bio-signals, and the evaluation of model correctness in eyes-open and eyes-closed EEG
data. The section that follows provides an overview of the contributions.

The limitations of AI in the healthcare business are as follows: Ethical issues include a
range of concerns pertaining to equitable treatment, responsible conduct, open disclosure,
and the preservation of human dignity in the development and use of AI. Furthermore, they
involve the safeguarding of privacy, the acquisition of informed consent, and the preser-
vation of autonomy for both patients and healthcare professionals. Legal issues include
the establishment and oversight of liability, accountability, and ownership pertaining to
AI systems and their consequences. Additionally, adherence to both current and evolving
laws and regulations is crucial [6]. Social issues include the examination and resolution of
the possible implications of AI on human relationships, trust, communication, and empow-
erment within the healthcare sector. Additionally, this involves the effective management
of the expectations, perceptions, and attitudes of many stakeholders. Technical challenges
include the establishment of the credibility and dependability of AI systems and data, as
well as the resolution of concerns related to security and compatibility. Additionally, it is
crucial to address the constraints, prejudices, and uncertainties inherent in AI algorithms
and models [7].
The application of IoMT in the healthcare industry is, essentially, the use of a ground-
breaking technology, but it presents a series of obstacles that need resolution. One of the
primary challenges is the matter of privacy and security [8]. The transmission of sensitive
medical information across many devices and networks poses a potential vulnerability to
cyber-attacks and data breaches. Another significant obstacle is the need for universally
accepted and standardized procedures [8].
In [9], the authors propose a set of pre-trained algorithms that can correctly categorize
endoscopic images of GI diseases and disorders. Classifying illnesses of the gastrointestinal
system is the focus of this research, which proposes a weighted average ensemble model
dubbed GIT-NET. In this review article [10], the authors set out to bring the reader up
to speed on the latest research and applications of AI in perinatology, with a particular
emphasis on newborn critical care and the possibilities presented by precision medicine.
The research in [11] shows that IoT wearable devices with AI-based algorithms built into
them were highly successful and efficient in detecting and anticipating insights related
to COVID-19. The study’s findings show that AI is an exciting field of study with vast
potential for improving healthcare worldwide in areas such as illness prediction, disease
forecasting, medication discovery, and healthcare infrastructure development.
According to the study in [12], data from electronic health records are shown as
increasingly valuable assets for empirical research. Knowledge of the electronic health
records system and its differences from existing observational data is necessary for the ML-
based transformation of real-world data and electronic health records data for research and
real-world evidence. The research in [13] questioned medical researchers at the University
of Luebeck and the University Hospital of Tuebingen to ascertain their current levels
of awareness of AI chatbots, specifically in the context of the healthcare environment. A
quantitative survey and qualitative analysis of focus groups were used to learn how medical
students felt about artificial intelligence and chatbots in the medical field. This would help
determine what is needed to successfully include AI in future medical education. The goal
was to obtain a general comprehension of the technology’s possible benefits, drawbacks,
and dangers.
In [14], the authors suggested a compression technique for bio-signals well-suited to
IoMT use. This approach uses block-based HWT to isolate features from the input signal
and then uses the innovative COVIDOA to choose the most significant characteristics
for reconstruction. Utilizing wireless communication transmission technologies from the
industrial IoT, a smart data transmission model is suggested for use in the IoMT [15]. This
model compensates for the flaws of previous IoMT models with its capacity for high-
quality data transfer, accurate accident diagnostic categorization, and real-time anomaly
monitoring. In [16], researchers created a new model for energy-conscious clustering and
medical data categorization using the squirrel search algorithm and IoT. Maximum energy
efficiency and accurate disease detection in an IoT setting are also goals of the proposed
Bioengineering 2023, 10, 1370 3 of 4
method. In [17], researchers employ a novel pre-trained DL model to provide an efficient
measurement of prediction accuracy. To build accurate medical signs, treatments, and
diagnoses, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis, such as self-supervised transfer
learning, to monitor the effects of the DL models.
There is a marked lack of quantitative research in favor of qualitative approaches
in the bulk of the papers. Statistical modeling must be carried out to measure how each
big data approach affects clinical routines [18]. Healthcare strategy, quality of service,
resilience, and agility may all be improved and optimized with the use of AI and IoMT,
giving researchers and practitioners more industrial control over the system. There is
much room for growth in the field of human resource development due to the lack of
studies on educating employees to adopt AI and IoMT [18]. Surgeons undertaking complex
procedures may find the metaverse to be a helpful tool, ultimately leading to better patient
care. New metaverse-based solutions may provide patients with immediate feedback
on their test results. Since clinical studies are needed to establish whether or not the
metaverse is a valuable tool for surgery, its implementation will occur gradually at first.
Like robot-assisted surgery, we expect the metaverse to gain popularity as its applications
expand [19].
