This book explores the latest trends and transitions concerning the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). The emerging notion is that IoMT will play an important role in shaping the future of healthcare. Many medical instruments, equipment, scanners, robots, appliances, cameras, handhelds, wearables, and other devices are becoming integrated with cloud-hosted software applications, analytics platforms, digital twins, databases, AI models, etc. This integration adds the required intelligence necessary to exhibit intelligent behavior.
Decision-making in the medical profession is imprecise and fuzzy logic handles the partial truth concept well. Fuzzy logic is advantageous in situations in which the truth-value ranges between completely false and completely true. The combination of the established fuzzy logic concepts with the IoMT systems is a game-changer.
The fuzzy logic theory is an important tool that deals with imprecise linguistic concepts, addresses the loss of precision in the decision-making power of a physician, and ultimately will improve medical science in the ensuing digital era.
Here the main goal is to strengthen medical professionals, caregivers, and surgeons by providing methods for achieving fuzzy logic-based health diagnosis and medication. The health condition and various physical parameters of humans, such as heartbeat rate, sugar level, blood pressure, temperature, and oxygen quality, are captured through a host of multifaceted sensors. Additionally, remote health monitoring, medication, and management are being facilitated through a host of ingestible sensors, 5G communication, networked embedded systems, AI models running on cloud servers and edge devices, etc. Furthermore, chronic disease management is another vital domain getting increased attention. The distinct advancements in the fuzzy logic field are useful in various advanced medical care functionalities and facilities.
The first chapter focuses on the IoMT paradigm, its healthcare applications, the challenges, how to surmount them, and the distinct benefits. Chapter 2 illustrates various technical challenges in fuzzy-based IoMT system design and development. Chapter 3 conveys the design and implementation of a novel fuzzy logic-based IoMT framework.
Chapter 4 focuses exclusively on the different aspects of fuzzy logic-based medical image processing. It also deals with how fuzzy logic aids in efficient image processing. Chapter 5 explores the development of a fuzzy logic system for monitoring patients’ health conditions and the articulation of solution approaches. Chapter 6 underscores the importance of establishing complete trust between patients and IoT systems using fuzzy logic theory.
Chapter 7 concentrates on articulating and accentuating the proven and potential methods for significantly improving the efficiency of IoMT using fuzzy logic techniques. Chapter 8 is predominantly about fuzzy interference system (FIS) for IoMT. Chapter 9 is a use-case chapter that primarily focuses on leveraging a fuzzy deep learning method to analyze Pap smear images to identify cervical cancer.
Chapter 10 deals with the classification and diagnosis of heart diseases using fuzzy logic-powered IoMT. Chapter 11 describes an implementation of a neuro-fuzzy-based classifier to find Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes. Chapter 12 discusses an efficient implementation of Type-2 fuzzy logic mechanisms in IoMT. Chapter 13 explains the ways and means of doing feature extraction and diagnosis of heart diseases using fuzzy logic-inspired IoMT.
Chapter 14 is dedicated to demystifying the unique capabilities of an intelligent heartbeat management system using fuzzy logic methods. Chapter 15 expounds on a fuzzy logic algorithm for effective monitoring of medical data management systems. Chapter 16 concerns the implementation of IoT’s function in healthcare monitoring systems. The importance and value of IoT healthcare systems are discussed, along with the advantages of using such a system. Chapter 17 addresses the integration of edge computing and fuzzy logic to monitor novel coronavirus. Chapter 18 illustrates the aspect of IoT implementation in healthcare barriers and its future challenges.
We wish to express our gratitude to everyone involved in this project for their efforts, as well as Wiley and Scrivener Publishing for their cooperation and assistance in the timely publication of this book.

In the healthcare sector, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is significantly enhancing the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of electronic devices. Interactions between machines and people or a combination of the two are made possible via the Internet of Things (IoT). The most recent advancements in the Internet of Things technology have helped human daily activities, including rapid service delivery and real-time information access. Our area of interest is the research benefits of the IoT in the healthcare sector though. By enabling the quick and efficient capture of diagnostic information and patient care, this technology has improved healthcare management and delivery, particularly inside medical facilities. The existing literature consists primarily of different investigations. The study focuses mostly on the evolution of the Internet of Things architecture, its accompanying challenges, and its benefits for the general public, with little to no attention paid to the IoT’s potential applications in the healthcare industry. This study investigates the effects of utilizing the IoT to close the healthcare management gap. The study offers a thorough examination of how the IoT might be used to improve hospital management systems’ operating capabilities. This study investigates prospective new innovations that might aid in development. Systems for managing hospitals are controlled by the IoT technology. Medical practitioners are able to treat patients anywhere and at any time. Patients, especially the elderly, are frequently offered medical care and monitoring. The goal of wearable sensor technology is to improve people’s welfare in their homes. Multiple obstacles, such as the production of unnecessary and useless data, worries about the security and privacy of patient information, and the high cost of IoT adoption make it difficult to integrate IoT applications into the field of healthcare. Future research initiatives on the application of the IoT technology in the healthcare industry also include the prediction of stroke and epileptic convulsions as well as the use of prosthetic sensors to gather important information to speed up patient treatment.
Keywords: IoMT, IoT, healthcare, management
Scholars from all over the world have been investigating new methods to use technology to augment conventional healthcare services by utilizing the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) [1]. This study demonstrates how the use of multi-homing dense networks enhances a hitherto unexplored component of the IoMT deployment, highlighting the significance of each contribution. The convergence process in the healthcare industry presents both new challenges and opportunities [2, 3]. The research aims to highlight cutting-edge research projects that advance the field. A major global challenge for civilization is preserving people’s health. The healthcare industry has drawn a lot of scholarly attention in the last 10 years [4]. The current study examines the current applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare and the possible benefits it might bring to the industry.
Figure 1.1 describes the IoMT’s journey to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare applications. Researchers are also interested in spotting patterns in developing technologies [5]. An in-depth analysis of the multiple barriers preventing the widespread adoption of effective, reliable, and scalable IoT healthcare applications is provided in this study. New opportunities to raise the level of healthcare and, consequently, human life expectancy are urgently needed. It is envisaged that a reinforcement algorithm be developed and joined to the IoT-enabled healthcare infrastructure to address the issues brought on by duplicated sensory data acquired by wearable sensor devices [6–8]. This is anticipated to take place soon.

Potentially, medical institutions and potential patients may communicate via the Internet, opening up access to high-quality healthcare services at any time and from any location [10–13]. As a result, organizations or groups of healthcare experts can create a system that is open and effective. Additionally, the adoption of IoT technologies can make it easier to develop a real-time healthcare delivery paradigm. Additionally, IoT-based healthcare methods have improved the provision of healthcare services from a traditional healthcare standpoint, providing a cutting-edge real-time healthcare system [14]. Thus, the incorporation of bIoTechnology has aided in the modernization of traditional medicine and acted as a key catalyst for the creation of intelligent healthcare systems for hospital administration [15]. Because of its integration, Internet of Things technologies are establishing an innovative healthcare-based hospital management method for providing healthcare services.
Technology makes it possible to create an intelligent hospital management system with access to healthcare data that is frequently referred to as the IoMT [16, 17]. It entails employing wearable medical sensors and Internet-connected smart devices to monitor patient health, confirm medication compliance, predict cardiac events, and obtain the most recent diagnostic information. The healthcare sector is currently being affected by a surge of new trends and technological developments that are quickly gaining traction on a worldwide level. The latest innovations in the development of medical devices improve patient care. The immediate transmission of important data is made possible by emerging technical developments, which range from physical gadgets to intelligent systems. This makes it possible for specialists, medical professionals, and regular people to communicate and spot crucial situations that can jeopardize lives [18]. In order to meet patient needs, the paradigm of medical services being available always, everywhere, and spanning all facets of healthcare is changing. This change is causing the field to generate innovative innovations. At this time, smartphone framework developments have achieved a level of practicality and utility that enables medical practitioners to offer consultations for medical support. A substantial problem is presented by the interconnectedness of IoT regions, which calls for the integration of frameworks related to enormous amounts of data, security, and privacy [19].
Additionally, it gives users the ability to upload, access, archive, and aggregate data, which results in the creation of enormous databases. Transfer, retrieval, storage, and accumulation of data by persons are made easier by information technology (IT). The current study also investigates continuous considerable data streams to derive insightful conclusions in big data implementations across certain domains [20, 21]. Internet of Things technology’s structures and automated systems, as well as healthcare systems that handle copious volumes of data to improve decision-making, are just a few examples of the potential digital solutions this study explores in the numerous facts of daily life. Technical developments have a substantial impact on the IoMT, and remote medical services are the main topic of this study.
The Internet of Medical Things makes it feasible for medical device performance to be improved, response times to be accelerated, and healthcare to be more widely accessible. The IoMT can collect health information from patients who are over a long distance to wearable sensors and gadgets connected to Internet health monitoring platforms. The processing of the IoMT is made easier by Wi-Fi-enabled medical devices by connecting to one another and transferring M to M. A cloud server receives data from connected medical devices and stores and analyzes them [22]. The method of continuously monitoring someone’s health by tracking his or her activity levels and comparing them to expected future activity levels is known as “remote health monitoring” (RHM). Although RHM may ultimately lead to the provision of clinical services, there are other priorities. Physiological characteristics like heart rate may need to be monitored.
The idea of remote healthcare entails the methodical gathering and evaluation of health-related data to determine the efficacy of a certain program [23–25]. This strategy makes it easier to do fundamental analysis, which helps to get the desired results. Patients can conduct routine tests on their smartphones or wearable technology and submit the results to healthcare professionals in real time by integrating remote health monitoring with healthcare assistance. The use of remote health monitoring and healthcare services has enhanced doctors’ ability to supervise and control patients in unusual healthcare settings [26]. RHM uses sophisticated methods to collect health information from people in a specific locality, like a patient’s home, and transfer the information to medical professionals in another location to access the patient and give directions to the nurses.

Healthcare has adopted RFID technology to help with equipment-tracking systems. To help medical workers quickly identify and keep track of medical equipment, an RFID-based tracking system was created.
In this section, many writers have described various layers of the IoMT device management system. The construction of a structured framework that distinguishes the physical components of a network and their functional organization and configuration is a requirement of the discipline of architecture. The technology used, the application areas, and commercial concerns are only a few of the variables that have an impact on the Internet of Things’ development. As mentioned, the management layer is in charge of controlling monitoring operations utilizing the cloud management tools that are widely used in 10T technology. In Figure 1.5, layer management in the IoMT is depicted.
The framework’s sensor management layer is the most crucial part. The research highlights the Raspberry Pi, a remote two-lead EKG, devices, RTX4100, the Arduino platform, pulse oximetry, oxygen in the blood sensor, and smartphone sensors. Sensors capture biological signals. Biosensors could speed up data analysis and treatment by letting individuals monitor others’ health. Sensors in healthcare should collect vital data for examination at a remote storage facility.

JavaScript, HTTPS/HTTP, and RESTful Web services are just a few of the protocols and methods that the layer is compatible with.
In the IoMT, gathering biological data for application use is referred to as data acquisition. Continuous signal-producing biosensors are often used for data acquisition. Signals from living things frequently have low amplitudes and noise. As a result, preprocessing and digitization are applied to the signals above.
Electronic devices called biosensors are used to monitor and measure biological signals. Biosensors can transform healthcare by linking people and the system. Caregivers get vital sensor data. Biosensors’ simple data analysis speeds up diagnosis by letting people follow their health. Wearable and non-wearable biosensor technologies make up the IoMT paradigm. The IoMT uses several wearable and non-wearable technologies.
For the purpose of diagnosing cancer, a patient’s bodily samples are frequently taken. The prior case is examined once more to see if any malignant neoplastic cells are present. Obtaining a blood sample is a frequent method used to identify circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream. Contrarily, those receiving cancer therapy may experience considerable negative health effects from blood draws. Because of the use of IoMT devices, researchers have successfully created noninvasive methods for detecting circulating tumor cells.
