Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a quickly expanding field that intends to develop the features, effectiveness, and availability of healthcare services by applying numerous technologies to gather and diffuse medical data. IoMT devices incorporate wearable sensors, implantable devices, smart home methods, telemedicine policies, and mobile applications. IoMT applications range from chronic disease administration, remote patient monitoring, emergency response, and clinical decision support to health promotion and wellness. This paper aligns on the advantages, defies, and outlook directions of this developing domain. The paper also examines the ethical, legal, and social implications of IoMT, as well as the possible risks and vulnerabilities of the IoMT environment
