Abstract

As the healthcare industry continues to embrace digital transformation, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) emerges as a key technology. IoMT plays a critical role in revolutionizing healthcare delivery by enabling remote patient monitoring, personalized treatments, and efficient healthcare management. This survey offers a comprehensive overview of IoMT, elucidating its concepts and architectural framework. It explores its diverse applications and the challenges associated with its adoption. Additionally, it investigates key methods in lightweight, explainable artificial intelligence, discusses their applications in healthcare services, and outlines relevant evaluation metrics. Furthermore, it examines data security and privacy concerns in healthcare, presenting relevant methodologies. Finally, this review provides insights into the future of IoMT, considering existing challenges and opportunities for advancement.
