Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is often declared as the future of healthcare. It constitutes an amalgamation of medical devices and applications that are connected to health information technology systems using state-of-the-art communication technologies.
The IoMT consists of smart devices, such as wearables and medical monitors, designed for healthcare purposes to be used on the human body, at home, or in the community, as well as in clinical settings. The on-body segment can be divided into consumer health wearables and medical wearables. At home, we can find personal emergency response systems, remote patient monitoring, and virtual doctors. In the community, we have mobility services for health tracking during transit, emergency response intelligence, point-of-care devices, and logistics involving the transport and delivery of healthcare goods and services. Finally, in the clinical domain, the IoMT is used for clinical (nursing, smart health monitoring, and more) and administrative functions (asset and personnel management, patient flow management, inventory management, etc.).
Moreover, the IoMT includes cloud-based platforms hosting applications that bring together data from all of the aforementioned devices that have been obscured from each other throughout the healthcare industry thus far. The IoMT will create useful data to bring healthcare insights and professionals together in order to advance medicine and human health.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the most recent innovations in IoMT technologies that are capable of providing secure, unobtrusive, and continuous health monitoring and analytic services.
The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- State-of-the-art IoMT health monitoring and sensing paradigms;
- Data collection, integration, and interpretation in IoMT;
- Unobtrusive health monitoring with IoMT;
- IoMT security solutions regarding sensitive medical data;
- IoMT network architectures and connectivity;
- Edge computing in the domain of IoMT;
- Ultra-low-power IoMT devices;
- IoMT and Healthcare 4.0;
- IoMT for health emergency situations;
- Interoperability and data exchange issues;
- The integration of novel AI tools, such as LLMs into IoMT.
