Abstract
In current years, Internet of Things (IoT) has come a long way and is well emerged within many organizations and fields covering the sector of healthcare. Continuously, encompassing of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in the field of the medical sector helps in the rise of medical data and analysis of that. Smart healthcare plays important role in human life and various research projects are running on it. It consists of diverse ingredients like wireless communication technology, cloud computing, edge computing, medical sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), IoMT, and IoT. The chapter introduces IoMT with respect to the multiple challenges like privacy, security and low-power operation faced while incorporating IoT with healthcare sector. For emergency treatment, a cloud-based healthcare framework provides a platform to support patients over internet communication by medical experts. Privacy and security to the medical records are on higher priority due to the very sensitive nature of the content. Moreover, a comprehensive survey on IoMT-based cloud and edge-intelligent healthcare system is also described. The current advancement in the field of IoT, IoMT, cloud computing, and AI related to privacy and security, some pathways for forthcoming work in collaboration of healthcare sector and IoT based on a collection of challenges and open issues are also addressed.
