What is Healthcare Applications

IoMT is primarily used to collect very sensitive individual health information; its security and privacy are critical in protecting the patient's life, which may otherwise have a negative impact on the patient's health and, in the worst-case scenario, result in death. This needs a thorough examination of available security and privacy measures in the IoMT space. Medical systems acquire, process, and make vital choices based on critical and sometimes life-threatening health information. Cybercriminals that target the weaknesses in these IoMT devices may be able to acquire unauthorized access to sensitive personal and medical records as well as gain access to the hospital network. Attacks on such linked devices can result in serious health injuries and even death for patients. Numerous threats, assaults, and vulnerabilities that might influence different levels in IoT-based healthcare applications have been studied. Wearable sensing devices were used in most IoT-based healthcare systems, making the applications layer the next highly susceptible layer.
