The Role of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in Remote Patient Monitoring: A Review of Benefits and Security Concerns

Abstract

This review explores the transformative role of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in remote patient monitoring (RPM), emphasizing its contributions to patient care, data-driven insights, and healthcare cost reductions. It examines the benefits of IoMT, such as real-time health monitoring, improved patient outcomes, and predictive analytics, and addresses the security risks associated with data privacy, unauthorized access, and cybersecurity. By discussing case studies, real-time data, and proposed security solutions, this paper highlights the potential and challenges IoMT presents, aiming to guide further research and regulatory standards for secure IoMT applications in healthcare.
