Characterizing IOMT/Personal Area Networks Landscape
2019, ArXiv
Abstract
The attention garnered by the Internet of Things (IoT) term has taken the world by a storm. IOT concepts have been applied to various domains revolutionizing the way business processes are conducted. Health Informatics is a nascent multidisciplinary field that aims at applying information engineering concepts to healthcare. The information traditionally came from a variety of sources such as healthcare IT systems but recently is being stored in variety of IOT devices. Application of IOT concepts is becoming the norm giving rise to the Internet of Medical Things (IOMT). However, IOMT introduces many challenges such as the real-time nature, security, and privacy of data along with others. Thus, understanding the underlying structure of IOMT is of paramount importance. Given the importance of the underlying networks, we explore various solutions currently employed in developing the Personal Area Networks (PANs) that are the underlying cornerstone of IOMT). PANs allow the sensors to mea...

- 2 IoMT Companies Leading the Way With the overwhelming growth of healthcare electronic devices connected to each other to send and receive safely and effectively sensitive data and information, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, 2017) has examined cyber-security risks and released on Sept 6, 2017, its final guidance on "Design Considerations and Premarket Submission Recommendations for Interoperable Medical Device". FDA identified six issues that medical device manufacturers should take into account: (1) identify the purpose of the electronic interface including the type and data exchanged, (2) determine the anticipated user, (3) consider risk management including risk that may arise from other users connecting through the interface, (4) verification and validation by maintaining and implementing appropriate verification and validation of the device functionality , (5) labelling considerations, and (6) use of consensus standards related to the interoperability of the medical device. The key players in the IoMT market include Adheretech (https://www.adheretech.com/) patient support programs with its smart pill bottle and underlying software to detect compliance with medications and alerts patients in case they forget or miss a dose, or detect a serious problem in which case the patients' pharmacy is notified.
