Definition: IoMT


(Internet Of Medical Things) Connecting medical and healthcare devices via the Internet. Because of HIPAA regulations concerning an individual's privacy, IoMT requires more security than regular IoT or IIoT systems.

In Home, On-Body, Community and In-Hospital
In-home devices enable people to routinely transmit their medical data from their home, whereas on-body devices report conditions no matter where the person is. Community IoMT enables tracking of people in transit, and in-hospital IoMT provides the same capability within a hospital complex. See IoT and HIPAA.
