Abstract Patient care, research, and decision-making are all aided by real-time medical data analysis in today’s rapidly developing healthcare system. The significance of this research comes in the fact that it has the ability to completely change the healthcare system by relocating computing resources closer to the data source, hence facilitating more rapid and accurate analysis of medical data. Latency, privacy concerns, and inability to scale are common in traditional cloud-centric techniques. With their ability to process data close to where it is created, edge and fog computing have the potential to revolutionize medical analysis. The healthcare industry has unique opportunities and problems for the application of edge and fog computing. There must be an emphasis on data security and privacy, workload flexibility, interoperability, resource optimization, and data integration without any interruptions. In this research, it is suggested the Adaptive Heuristic Edge assisted Fog Computing design (AHE-FCD) to solve these issues using a novel architecture meant to improve medical analysis. Together, edge devices and fog nodes may perform distributed data processing and analytics with the help of AHE-FCD. Heuristic algorithms are often employed for optimization issues that establishing an optimum solution using standard approaches is difficult and impossible. Heuristic algorithms utilize search algorithms to explore the search space and identify a result. Improved patient care, medical research, and healthcare process efficiency are all possible to AHE-FCD real-time, low-latency analysis at the edge and fog layers. Improved medical analysis with minimal latency, high reliability, and data privacy are all likely to emerge from the study’s findings. As a result, rather from being centralized, operations in a sophisticated distributed system occur at several end points. That helps the situation quicker to detect possible dangers prior to propagate across the network. The AHE-FCD is a promising breakthrough that moves us closer to the realization of advanced medical analysis systems, where prompt and well-informed decision-making is essential to providing excellent healthcare.
