Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an IoT submarket that groups all medical devices and applications capable of obtaining, analyzing, and sharing data over the internet. Among them are wearable devices, vital signs monitored at home or in health centers, and health telemonitoring,. IoMT has been widely adopted by health services thanks to the great positive impact generated in disease control and drug administration, improving treatment methods, reducing costs, and enhancing the quality of life and user experience in patients and medical staff.
The adoption of IoMT brings with it challenges such as interoperability between systems of different providers, in a way that the data can be analyzed to improve health diagnoses and applications, avoiding forming islands of data. Other challenges present in the implementation of IoMT, for example, are: having connectivity strategies so that the devices can interconnect with each other and with the cloud in a simple way; design devices (wearables or ambient based) for biomedical signals monitoring with reduced maintenance; improving the security and privacy of patient records; and network administration for IoMT devices and design of frameworks for monitoring systems in both health centers and homes.
The Special Issue “Internet of Medical Things in Healthcare Applications” aims to group innovative research, work in progress or surveys related to the topics described above that contribute to knowledge and improvements in IoMT. This Special Issue includes but is not limited to the following topics:
- In-Hospital and in-home remote patient monitoring;
- Innovative IoMT devices and wearable and/or ambient sensors;
- IoMT cybersecurity;
- Telehealth virtual consulting;
- IoMT for administrative or clinical functions;
- Collection, integration, and analysis of clinical data.
