Security and Privacy of IoMT

Abstract

The internet of things has opened up a lot of potential avenues in different industries like medical, agriculture, hospitality, traffic monitoring, wearables, and many more. IoT has made the accumulation of data and the automation of related processes very easy and manageable. The main area of focus related to IoT here is going to be the field of health and medicine. IoMT, or internet of medical things, or IoT in healthcare, is the collection and interconnected network of medical devices and applications. IoMT will come as a much-needed boost to an ageing and burdened healthcare industry with the stress of an increasing population looming over its head. No matter what is connected to the internet, security issues will always follow suit – so will IoMT devices and applications. The authors will address the security and privacy concerns related to IoMT while also taking a deep look on what IoMT is, its applications, its future trends and also the challenges that IoMT may potentially face in the future.
