Abstract

This study provides vital insight into the various fields that employ the Internet of Things in the healthcare sector. The Internet of Things is one of the multiple methods that help digitize the field of medicine. In most cases, the IoT involves sensors that can detect several variables. Therefore, the study aims to provide a deeply analyzed discussion study about the use of the IoMT in medical contexts and the problems associated with these methods’ help. The study provides the individual and combined effects of technology in wearable devices and other applications of Blockchain networked IoMT devices. Considering the modern rapid developments in technology and using computers in virtually every field, there has been extensive discussion about digitalization and the effects that are associated with it. The modern trends are heading towards the world that is reduced to a global village. In this study, there will be extensive coverage of how the Internet of Medical Things has brought security implications to most states in the world. The security vulnerabilities of wearable devices, attacks, threats, and mitigation methodologies will be discussed in this study.
