One of the crucial scenarios in 5G and IoT is the Internet of Healthcare Things ( IoHT ),where many unexplored services emerge to improve the patient’s quality of life. However, there are challengesfor infrastructure requirements to support data traffic growth while promoting a reduction in energy usage.Edge Computing ( EC) and Network Slicing ( NS) are two supporting paradigms for data-intensive andlow-latency applications that enable the host of virtualized resources in 5G . However, the arrangement ofcomputing resources in different levels and nodes is a critical challenge, followed by constraints, requirements,and performance goals. Furthermore, since IoHT applications present demanding necessities regardinglatency and throughput, such as high-quality video streaming, virtual and augmented reality, computer vision,and intelligent signal processing, the adoption of application placement strategies is essential to improve theperformance of these services. This chapter presents a review of EC and NS in the context of IoHT for 5G. %G English %L hal-04088870 %U https://univ-paris8.hal.science/hal-04088870 %~ UNIV-PARIS8 %~ UNIV-PARIS-LUMIERES %~ PANTHEON-ASSAS-UNIVERSITE %~ UNIV-ASSAS
