Internet of Medical Things (IoMT): Overview, Taxonomies, and Classifications

Recent research efforts have created rapid advances in the field of Internet Things (IoT) terms communication protocols, sensing technologies, computing capabilities, next-generation wireless big data and AI techniques, on-device, edge, cloud processing. These a paradigm shift generated wide range potential opportunities for new major known as Medical (IoMT), well subfields like mobile Health (mHeatlh) digital or electronic (eHealth). This paper provides an overview presents classification to define primary users their roles involvement smart healthcare systems. The then taxonomy on deployment scales different environments, from personal widescale connected also discusses n-tier architecture IoMT, set taxonomies classifications medical devices used systems non-medical provide context-aware information about surrounding environment. concludes by presenting healthcare-related applications services, comparison between traditional systems, obstacles challenges IoMT guide development services devices. Many survey papers literature focused similar points; however, up our knowledge, this is first present these essential topics. presented manufacturers developers deeper understanding systems’ landscape address requirements demands.
