Internet of Things Technologies

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a sophisticated computerization and analytics system that exploits sensing, big data, networking, and artificial intelligence technologies to provide complete systems for a product or service. The IoT is a trend in future-generation technologies that can surprise the entire research, business, marketing, and commercial domains. This can be viewed as the interconnection of distinctively identifiable smart devices and objects within Internet infrastructure with more profit. The deployment and usage of IoT in biomedical engineering are rapidly growing. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is the group of medical devices and applications that unite with healthcare IT systems online and on the cloud. A medical device facilitated with Wi-Fi allows machine-to-machine communication (M2M) that is the base of IoMT. A wireless telemetry system for wearable/implantable medical devices is one of the major applications of IoMT. IoT with wearable technologies is reshaping patient care delivery services across healthcare industries. This emerging technology changes the current healthcare system into a smart healthcare system with reduced cost and improves diagnosis and treatment outcomes. The chapter examines the various IoMT technologies associated with biomedical engineering and analyzes the working methodology with respect to healthcare. It also gives the reader an overall perspective of the entire ecosystem of the IoMT-based healthcare and functioning of the applications in the biomedical industry. There is definitely much scope for advancement for IoMT in the healthcare sector.
