Abstract :
The internet of Things (IoT) in medical arena, also known as internet of medical things (IoMT) is the collection of medical devices and application connecting healthcare Information Technology (IT) system by means of online computer networks. It enables virtually any medical devices as well as non digitalized things (like pills and beds) to connect process and communicate data via web. IoMT allows medical devices and health-care items to exchange data on the spot, online with anyone who has a genuine need for it. The aura of IoMT includes wireless communication technologies, cloud computing, wearable technologies, messaging protocols, security methods, development boards, microcontrollers, mobile/IoT operating systems, and programming languages, built upon numerous technologies including advanced sensors, IoT connectivity and artificial intelligence (AI). IoMT can improve healthcare quality and reduce costs too in hospitals and clinics. In places where distance is the limiting factor, Telemedicine plays a vital role in remote patient monitoring. Major applications include biomedical equipment remote monitoring, remote patient monitoring biosensors and radio frequency identification. IoT in Dentistry aims to streamline oral health care by enhancing oral health while reducing costs, promoting workflow, relieving dentists and dental workers of tedious and time-consuming activities, and igniting interest in personalized oral health care.
