Abstract

Intelligent sensors and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) platforms are rapidly changing smart healthcare by enabling continuous capture of physiological, behavioral, and clinical events outside conventional hospital settings. Yet the value of connected sensing depends on more than signal acquisition alone. A practical remote-monitoring ecosystem must also convert sensor alerts, clinician-facing summaries, and historical electronic clinical records (ECRs) into ranked evidence that supports care decisions. This study reframes a large-AI clinical retrieval model as the intelligence layer of an edge–cloud IoMT architecture. The proposed framework combines Transformer-Based Sequence (TBS) encoding, BioBERT-driven representation learning, explicit retrieval, and domain-guided re-ranking to connect sensor-originated narratives, patient records, and clinician queries. The empirical evaluation is conducted on Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) and i2b2, two de-identified clinical text benchmarks that approximate the documentation layer of real-world remote patient monitoring. Compared with strong baselines, including DeepBio, UniT2T, Web4IR, A2A-API, CoLTiD, VLRG, ColBERT, DeepSDH, BiRex, and DL4BTM, the proposed model achieves the best overall performance, reaching F1/Pre/NDCG scores of 0.8399/0.8338/0.5235 on MIMIC-III and 0.8090/0.8100/0.5129 on i2b2. Ablation experiments confirm the importance of exploratory data adaptation, critical feature modeling, critical token learning, cross-disciplinary supervision, and data-driven regularization. Parameter sensitivity analysis shows stable behavior for beta values greater than or equal to 1, with the strongest results at beta = 5. The study concludes that large-AI retrieval can strengthen the clinical interpretation layer required for IoMT-enabled remote monitoring, while future work should validate the approach on live multimodal sensor streams and privacy-preserving deployments.
