A Review on Security and Privacy of Internet of Medical Things

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Intelligent Internet of Things for Healthcare and Industry

Part of the book series: Internet of Things ((ITTCC))

Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is increasing the accuracy, the reliability, and the production capability of electronic devices by playing a very important part in the industry of healthcare. The available medical resources and services related to the healthcare are working to get an interconnection with each other by the digital healthcare system by the contribution of the researchers. Sensors, wearable devices, medical devices, and clinical devices are all connected to form an ecosystem of the Internet of Medical Things. The different applications of healthcare are enabled by the Internet of Medical Things to reduce the healthcare costs, to attend the medical responses on time, and also to help in increasing the quality of the medical treatment. The healthcare industry is transformed by the Internet of Medical Things as it delivers targeted and personalized medical care, and it also seamlessly enables the communication of medical data. Devices used in the medical field and their application are connected to the system of healthcare with the help of the digital world.
