N2 - The integration of sixth-generation (6G) networks with the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming smart healthcare by enabling ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, and intelligent connectivity across medical systems. Despite these advancements, existing healthcare IoT frameworks face three critical limitations: real-time resource allocation, secure data handling, and scalable infrastructure deployment. To address these challenges, we present a unified AI-powered 6G-IoT healthcare framework comprising three tightly integrated components: adaptive medical resource allocation, privacy-preserving anomaly detection, and scalable network optimisation. Our allocation module utilizes eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for predicting resource efficiency, achieving an score of 0.988. It also incorporates a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based network reliability forecasting model refined using the Hungarian algorithm, which achieves a latency of under 50 ms. To safeguard patient data, we incorporate federated autoencoders and differential privacy within a blockchain-enabled trust architecture, delivering decentralised anomaly detection and a secure throughput of 1.5 KB/sec. For deployment at scale, the system supports over 240 concurrent sensors while maintaining energy consumption at just 41 W/hr through dynamic spectrum allocation and intelligent power cycling. Experimental results highlight the framework’s ability to deliver responsive, secure, and energy-efficient healthcare services, paving the way for next-generation smart hospital environments.
