Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) refers to medical devices and applications with Internet connectivity. It’s a subset of Internet of Things (IoT) and, for this reason, is often referred to as IoT in healthcare.

The overall category of IoT devices is typically more consumer-oriented, focusing on usability and convenience. IoT devices include smart TVs, lighting apps, voice assistants—really any number of smart, connected devices. IoMT devices and applications are designed with healthcare in mind, including:

• Smart thermometers and infusion pumps
• Remote patient monitoring (R\PM) devices
• Personal emergency response systems (PERS)
• Heart rate sensors and glucose monitors
• Ingestible sensors and cameras
• MRI machines
