abstract = {IoT technology is transforming the healthcare industry through what is known as the Internet
of Medical Things (IoMT), enhancing patient care while simultaneously reducing costs.
Nevertheless, it introduces critical security challenges, particularly the risk of jeopardizing
patient safety. Existing IoMT security solutions, often limited to proprietary platforms or
generic IoT firewalls, frequently lack transparency, scalability, and awareness with clinical
regulations. To address these gaps, we present MEDIotWALL, a customized two-tier security
architecture tailored for healthcare environments. The system integrates distributed
real-time traffic monitoring with AI-driven rule generation, delivering a non-intrusive,
centralized, human-supervised, and regulation-aware security framework. Experimental
results demonstrate the cost-efficiency and effectiveness of the approach, ensuring
robust medical protection while preserving authentication, confidentiality, and integrity of
the environment.},
