Abstract

Introduction: Remote data exchange operations in healthcare are observed, consulted, monitored and treated by the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). It is an extension of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Method: At the growing stage of IoT, IoMT is speedily drawing researchers’ interest due to its extensive use in healthcare systems. Smaller and lower-priced wireless devices with various communication protocols have led to the formation of IoMT. Healthcare data is exchanged through wireless communication with IoMT. The margining of IoMT and healthcare can yield multiple benefits in terms of: better quality of life, care services and developing solution/s at low cost. In this article, a systematic literature review has been conducted on IoMT.

Results: Authors have thoroughly investigated the different versions of healthcare 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 as proposed by the healthcare industry. Furthermore, the taxonomy of IoMT has been designed and compared with existing surveys.

Conclusion: This survey is unique and stands different from the point of view of existing surveys. It supports the future of IoMT researchers to bring new insight to their researches.
