This white paper outlines the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT): networked devices and apps that collect health data to enable real-time monitoring, diagnostics support, medication adherence, asset tracking, and elder care—critical amid aging populations. Markets are expanding rapidly, with Japan promoting PHRs and healthcare DX. IoMT stacks span sensor, communication, and application layers; mobiles drive “mHealth.” Devices (e.g., wearables, smart beds) capture vitals via PPG and other sensors. Key hurdles: accuracy, security/privacy, regulation (PMD Act), battery/miniaturization, RF/EMI compliance (CISPR, FCC/CE), and FDA cybersecurity expectations. Outlook: longer healthy lifespans, lower costs, and broader telemedicine if standards, security, and reliability keep pace.
