With the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, conventional reliance on centralized cloud data centres for the storage, analysis, and real-time processing of vast data volumes presents significant challenges. This is particularly applicable to the elevated latency and stringent security demands necessary for real-time IoT healthcare applications. Critical and time-sensitive applications, including e-healthcare, telemedicine, and robotic surgery, necessitate ultra-low latency and stringent security measures. Suboptimal processing, connectivity, and networks impede the performance of these applications. Moreover, conventional cloud designs frequently fail to provide the necessary Quality of Service (QoS) for IoT healthcare systems. Consequently, this essay also explores latency reduction and security improvement techniques in IoT healthcare focusing on the need for information transmission in the respective areas. It wishes to list the first principles for approaches that reduce latency and protect communications, and computational architectures that can operate with such systems. It also explores the features that are crucial for understanding latency and security, as well as comparing several methods of addressing latency reduction and improvement in security alongside their effectiveness. It critically assesses previous approaches, identifies gaps in the literature and emphasizes unanswered questions in the study that may be useful in other works in this field. This research incorporates these findings into propelling concepts relative to IoT device connection and enhancing general paradigms relating to the better employment of healthcare applications. These findings support the need to design future IoT healthcare systems that will be latent sensitive, security-enhanced, and high-performance systems due to emerging characteristics of IoT in healthcare.
