Internet of Medical Things: Enabling Key Technologies

ABSTRACT

Across the World the Covid-19 pandemic has created a huge burden on the medical field. Technologies including Internet of Things (IoT) have been playing a vital role to create digital remote health services during a time of social distancing and isolation. IoT has rapidly expanded into the Healthcare field in recent years. The joining of Healthcare with IoT is named Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and has significantly advanced many technologies with it. This paper is going to examine emerging technologies associated with IoMT as a whole and the embodiment of this technology including Big-Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, and Blockchain and how they are being utilized currently in the field. We will also present how these technologies can help combat the current pandemic.
