This research investigates the development of a lightweight digital trust architecture within the internet of medical things (IoMT). Employing a multi-faceted methodology, it commences with a systematic literature review, identifying gaps in IoMT security and digital trust frameworks. A theoretical framework, tailored for IoMT, is proposed, integrating resource-efficient cryptographic protocols, dynamic trust management, and scalable authentication mechanisms. The framework's practical applicability is examined through three case studies: a smart hospital system, remote patient monitoring, and IoMT in clinical trials, showcasing its efficacy in diverse IoMT applications. The study highlights the balance between security robustness and computational efficiency in IoMT, suggesting an iterative approach for adapting to evolving technologies and threats. This research contributes significantly to the understanding of digital trust in IoMT, providing a foundation for secure, efficient medical IoT solutions.
