Supply Chain Security, Resilience and Agility in IoT-driven Healthcare

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare has revolutionized supply chain operations by enabling real-time monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and automation. This study proposes a secure and resilient IoT-enabled healthcare supply chain framework that enhances agility, integrity, and operational efficiency. The framework uses edge and cloud computing for real-time data aggregation, AI-driven predictive analytics for demand forecasting and anomaly detection, and blockchain technology for ensuring data security and traceability. Additionally, it employs renewable energy sources and low-power IoT protocols for sustainability in resource-constrained environments. The proposed framework uses renewable energy sources and low-power IoT protocols to guarantee viability in environments with limited resources. The results indicate substantial gains, including an 86.67% reduction in device authentication failures, a 91.67% decrease in data manipulation instances, an 88% decrease in illegal access attempts, and a 95% upgrade in data encryption security. Enhanced system resilience and availability metrics comprise a 7.31% increase in uptime and a 75% reduction in redundancy failures. The root mean square error and mean absolute error for the proposed framework are 0.28 and 0.03.
