Abstract
As technology continues to advance, the potential for IoT in healthcare (also called IoMT-Internet of Medical Things) is rising day by day. Innovations in telemedicine and remote patient monitoring are helping to improve the healthcare services, making them more accessible and efficient for patients. Contactless health monitoring can ensure better treatment of patients, especially in remote areas. It refers to the interconnection of medical devices, sensors, and systems to the internet. IoMT enables the collection, transmission, and analysis of patient’s data in real-time, allowing for remote monitoring and early detection of health. IoMT systems present a promising opportunity for prevention, prediction, and monitoring of emerging infectious diseases. This technology also helps medical professionals make more informed treatment and deliver personalized care to patients. In this study, the authors focus on the emerging developments of IT-based telemedicine and remote patient monitoring including the definition, impact, importance, advantages, challenges, and future of IoT in healthcare.
