Critical concerns regarding the security and privacy of information transmitted within Internet of Medical Things systems have increased greatly, since these systems manage and generate substantial amounts of sensitive private data. Current traditional security methods have not yet adapted to evolving cyber threats, making the need for data security in medical settings crucial. Recently, a security framework based on blockchain technology and distributed reinforcement learning has been presented to address these challenges. The new framework ensures that data are stored securely and transmitted reliably while minimizing resource usage, and it also enables security measures to adapt to changing threat patterns and enhance system resilience against attacks. In summary, the new methods demonstrated improved memory consumption and transaction latency compared to existing approaches, while maintaining high data throughput. This work was published in Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal, under the title “Privacy-Preserving Strategies in the Internet of Medical Things Using Reinforcement Learning and Blockchain” by Dounia Doha and Ping Guo.
