Abstract & Overview
In this digital era expectations for medical quality have increased. As the number of patients continues to increase, conventional health care methods are having to deal with new complications. In light of these observations, researchers suggested a hybrid combination of conventional health care methods with IoT technology and develop MIoT. The goal of IoMT is to ensure that patients can respond more effectively and efficiently to their treatment. But preserving user privacy is a critical issue when it comes to collecting and handling highly sensitive personal health data. However, IoMTs have limited processing power; hence, they can only implement minimal security techniques. Consequently, throughout the health data transfer through MIoT, patient’s data is at risk of data leakage. This manuscript per the authors emphasizes the need of implementing suitable security measures to increase the IoMT's resilience to cyberattacks. Additionally, this manuscript per the authors discusses the main security and privacy issues associated with IoMT and provide an overview of existing techniques.
