Role of IoMT Devices in Continuous Health Monitoring and Smart Hospital Infrastructure

Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a rapidly expanding network of interconnected medical devices, wearable computing, sensors, and health care systems that enable real-time, continuous tracking of a patient's health. These emerging technologies are transforming traditional healthcare models by fostering proactive, data-driven, and patient-centred care. The paper addresses the need for IoMT devices for continuous health monitoring and the establishment of smart hospital networks. It highlights the benefits of using IoMT applications, including improved diagnostic accuracy, enhanced clinical processes, and remote patient supervision. The paper also addresses how IoMT can be integrated with other technologies, including cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and edge analytics, to support real-time data processing and clinical decision-making. Besides, the paper identifies existing issues, including interoperability concerns, data privacy issues, and security risks, and proposes innovative solutions and future perspectives for safer, more efficient IoMT utilisation. The results highlight the idea that IoMT is not a passing technology but a cornerstone in transforming healthcare systems into intelligent, responsive systems.
