Abstract

The paradigm of smart healthcare has increasingly gained prominence as information technology has advanced. Smart healthcare employs a new generation of technological advancement, including the Internet of Medical Things (loMT), big data, cloud service, Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), to completely alter the existing health service, healthcare access more affordable, easy, and customized. This book chapter mostly explored the issues of smart healthcare systems implemented using IoMT, its advantages of it, the structural and functional components of IoMT, and their challenges to present the concept of smart healthcare.
