Abstract
IoMT has helped to improve health safety and care of billions of people and at least, health-related parameters can now be monitored from home in real time. This chapter deployed a cross-sectional design to determine perceptions of Nigerian healthcare providers toward medical confidentiality and cyber security in the wake of electronic health records and IoMT. Participants' opinions on the workings of EHRs in Nigeria include: security of health records (79.4%); aiding effective healthcare data backup (88.2%); enhancement of medical confidentiality (89.2%); speeding up documentation process (93.1%); and that EHRs will generally bring about positive changes in the country healthcare system. Nearly a third (31.4%) of participants have heard about audit trail, which they admitted (43.1%) have the capabilities to facilitate effective medical confidentiality. Healthcare providers in Nigeria have some concerns over security of patient health information on the Cloud, but are hopeful of the workability of IoMT for its promises to improve healthcare quality.
