Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a network of interconnected medical devices, wearable sensors, and various healthcare technologies responsible for gathering and transmitting patient data via the internet. In the context of Secure Assistive Technologies, IoMT can be harnessed to provide uninterrupted monitoring, assistance, and communication with healthcare providers, all while upholding the utmost security and patient privacy. IoMT-based Secure Assistive Technologies encompass a range of devices, including wearable sensors for continuous tracking of vital signs, medication adherence, and other health-related metrics. Additionally, home monitoring systems enable remote patient surveillance and facilitate communication with healthcare providers. These technologies contribute to enhancing patient outcomes by enabling early detection of medical issues, reducing the risk of medical errors, and enhancing patient comfort and mobility. To guarantee the security of these systems, IoMT-based Secure Assistive Technologies employ various measures. These measures encompass secure authentication, data encryption, and other security protocols, all of which are aimed at safeguarding patient data against unauthorized access or interception. Furthermore, they make use of secure communication channels and employ firewalls to counteract cyber threats, ensuring the safe transmission of patient data.
