What is Internet of Medical Things(IoMT)?

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is the collection of medical devices and applications that connect to healthcare IT systems through online computer networks. 

• Medical devices equipped with Wi-Fi allow the machine-to-machine communication that is the basis of IoMT
• IoMT is also known as healthcare IoT.

Research areas towards IoMT:

• IoMT for remote health monitoring
• Research on emerging Medical sensors in IoMT
• Adaptation of IoMT System Architectures in Healthcare
• Integration of Wearable Sensors in IoMT
• Security and Privacy issues in IoMT
• Emerging eHealth IoT Application development
• Challenges in continuous health monitoring system
• Personalized and Patient Centric Healthcare in IoMT
• Integaration of Cloud computing in healthcare
