A Survey on the Internet of Medical Things (IOMT) Privacy and Security: Challenges Solutions and Future from a New Perspective

Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), an application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the medical domain, allows data to be transmitted across communication networks. In particular, IoMT can help improve the quality of life. With the advent of the Medical Internet of Things or MIOT, billions of people's health, safety, and care are being improved. Rather than requiring patients to visit the hospital for assistance, their health-related parameters can be tracked remotely, continuously, and in real-time., which significantly improves the effectiveness, convenience, and cost performance of healthcare. Data transmission over communication networks is made possible by the Internet of Medical Things (IOMT), an application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the medical field. Specifically, IOMT can enhance citizens' and senior citizens' quality of life by tracking and controlling the vital signals of the body, such as heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure, among others. IOMT has emerged as the primary forum for exchange. A total of 187 articles in all, published between 2010 and 2022, are gathered and arranged based on the variety of applications, year of publication, type of applications, and other unique viewpoints. This study provides a broad overview of the state-of-the-art methods by reviewing the security and privacy issues, requirements, risks, and future research objectives in the field of IOMT.
