A Study of IoMT - An Advanced Application to the Current Health Scenario

Abstract

The present study is an attempt to highlight in detail about the pros and cons of the Internet of Medical Things, which is the most effective and efficient application of information processing involving both computer hardware and software, that deals with the storage, retrieval, sharing, and use of health care information, data, and knowledge for communication and decision making. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is the collection of medical devices and applications that connect to healthcare IT systems through online computer networks. Many of the innovations resulting from IoMT provide a valuable platform for the evolution of healthcare and the provision of better, personalized treatment for more patients. However, for the initiatives to succeed, both healthcare professionals and patients must buy into the changes. IoT is not just meant for improving our lives, but it is transforming our lives in a big way. Healthcare is one of the most noble causes IoT can help and it’s already doing it.
