Abstract

In today’s world, Internet of Medical Things plays a vital role in the healthcare industry. This paves a new way for transforming a unique platform for automation and processing techniques. E-health and M-health are being shaped in a better way. This technique is mainly helpful for medical engineers to integrate the Internet of Things with medicine. Regarding medical parameters, ECG sensors and other medical sensors are used to track a patient’s status, such as skin temperature, glucose, and blood pressure. It can also be transformed into wearable, such as activity trackers, garments, and watches. The device should be appropriately fabricated and then licensed by concerned authorities. IoMT also plays a vital role in remote monitoring systems for the elderly and the telemedicine process. Though the architecture of IoMT is complex, the processed data can be stored and analyzed. Major applications include assistive care using e-health and healthcare. The basic concept architecture involved is the information that will be tracked from the patient using sensors, and then, it will be processed using a smart device. The information will be stored and analyzed in the cloud. Then, it will be transmitted to the healthcare workers and family, etc. Further, IoMT has the advantage of expanding the research ...
