Due to the COVID-19 virus infections that have occurred recently, the development of an intelligent healthcare protocol that considers emergent heart cases becomes indispensable. This protocol is based on the method that aims to monitor patients remotely by using Internet of Thing (IoT) devices, which do not select the nodes that are nearby the patient's or in the room to choose as a Clusters Head (CH). So on, the energy consumption of these devices will be reduced, because of their highest importance than the other non-medical ones. Accordingly, this paper proposes a method called High Importance Healthcare-Internet of Things (HIHC-IoT), which is suitable for the emergent healthcare conditions of the patient and the caregiver. Furthermore, WSNs have some issues that reduce system performance, such as resource limits for sensors that may affect power supply, memory, communication capacity, and processing units. In the proposed work, the optimum set of CHs has been selected depending on the residual energy, the distance between the nodes, and the HI nodes. In addition, cloud technology, SDN architecture, and an efficient intelligent algorithm called High Importance-Future Search Algorithm (HI-FSA) have been used. Finally, the compered result of normal protocols with the proposed intelligent protocol, showed an increase in network life by about 40% and about 22% for an optimized routing protocol and increasing the number of packets delivered between nodes.
