In the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), the Internet of Things (IoT) is integrated with medical devices, enabling improved patient comfort, cost-effective medical solutions, quick hospital treatments, and even more personalized healthcare. The paper first provides the introduction of IoMTs and then introduces an architecture of IoMTs. Later, it provides the current operations of the healthcare system and discusses the mapping of these operations into the architectural diagram. Further, several emerging technologies such as Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF), Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are envisioned as important technologies to overcome several challenges in e-healthcare such as security, privacy, accuracy, and performance. Finally, we provide three case studies for IoMT based on – (1) PUF-based Authentication, (2) AI-enabled SDN Assisted e-healthcare, and (3) Blockchain Assisted Patient Centric System. The solutions presented in this paper may have a huge impact on the speed at which IoMT infrastructure can efficiently evolve with market evolution.

在医疗物联网 (IoMT) 中，物联网 (IoT) 与医疗设备集成在一起，可以提高患者的舒适度、提供具有成本效益的医疗解决方案、快速的医院治疗以及更加个性化的医疗保健。本文首先介绍了 IoMT，然后介绍了 IoMT 的架构。随后，它提供了医疗保健系统的当前操作，并讨论了将这些操作映射到架构图中。此外，一些新兴技术，如物理不可克隆功能 (PUF)、区块链、人工智能 (AI) 和软件定义网络 (SDN)，被设想为克服电子医疗保健中的若干挑战（如安全性、隐私性、准确性）的重要技术，和性能。最后，我们提供了三个基于 IoMT 的案例研究——（1）基于 PUF 的身份验证，（2）支持 AI 的 SDN 辅助电子医疗保健，以及（3）区块链辅助以患者为中心的系统。本文提出的解决方案可能会对 IoMT 基础设施随着市场演变而有效发展的速度产生巨大影响。
