Internet of Medical Things (IoMT): Challenges and Innovations in Embedded System Design

Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is revolutionizing healthcare by integrating smart devices and sensors for improved medical monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment. This paper examines the challenges and advancements in designing embedded systems for IoMT applications. Key challenges include ensuring efficient real-time data processing, optimizing power usage, and ensuring compatibility across different devices and platforms. Innovations in sensor technology, wireless communication protocols, and edge computing have significantly enhanced IoMT capabilities, enabling remote patient monitoring, personalized medicine, and better healthcare outcomes. However, concerns about security and privacy are critical, requiring robust encryption, authentication methods, and adherence to regulatory standards. This review consolidates current research and identifies future trends to guide the development of secure, efficient, and scalable embedded systems in IoMT.
