ETRI Journal Special issue on Internet of Medical Things for Healthcare Applications
Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an amalgamation of medical devices and applications that can connect to healthcare information technology (IT) systems using networking technologies. IoMT will promote personalized care and higher standards of care and living through individual data-driven treatment regimens as well as optimized devices tailored to individual physiological requirements. The IoMT sense the patients’ health status and then transfer the clinical data to doctors and care holders with the help of remote cloud data centers. This data is most often used for disease diagnosis and clinical care. The useful information mined from the clinical database is used for preventing and protecting the patient health during situations of emergency. However, the main challenge in IoMT is how to manage with critical applications, where a number of connected devices generate a large amount of medical data. Hence, there is a need for scalable machine learning and intelligent algorithms that lead to more interoperable solutions and that can make effective decisions in emerging IoMT. The goal of this special issue on IoMT for Personalised Healthcare System is to present the state-of-the-art research and applications in utilizing IoMT enabled technology for healthcare systems. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
• Predictive Modelling for Improving Healthcare in IoMT
• Data mining and exploration of health data in IoMT
• Clinical decision support systems in IoMT
• Clinical data storage and communication in IoMT
• IoMT for remote healthcare and health monitoring
• Wearable Sensor Integration for Healthcare
• Emerging eHealth IoT Applications
• Security and Privacy in IoMT
• Ontologies, knowledge technologies, semantic web systems in IoMT
• Intelligent algorithms and Cloud Technologies for IoMT
