Abstract

In this narrative review, we investigate the potential opportunities and benefits, as well as the challenges and concerns of integrating the Internet of Things in healthcare. The opportunities include enhanced patient monitoring and management, improved efficiency and resource utilization, personalized and precision medicine, empowering patients and promoting self-management, and data-driven decision-making, while the challenges include security and privacy risks, interoperability and integration, regulatory and compliance issues, ethical considerations and impact on healthcare professionals and patients. These challenges must be carefully weighed against the benefits before deployment of the IoMT-enabled services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
