Abstract

The advancements of IoT (Internet of Things) in the medical sector led to the development of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and its application. IoMT is seen to enhance healthcare management through many applications such as device-integration, data delivery, analytics, automation, etc. A wide range of studies from 2011 to 2024, endorse that the need of IoT in healthcare is only meant to grow in the future. Significant potential improvements in operational efficiency through real-time data access and automation should be implemented in the future, along with addressing critical concerns like data privacy, interoperability issues, high implementation costs, and the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
