Security and Privacy Issues in Internet of Medical Things addresses the security challenges faced by healthcare providers and patients. As IoMT devices are vulnerable to cyberattacks, and a security breach through IoMT devices may act as a pathway for hackers to enter hospital networks, the book covers a very timely topic. The incorporation of blockchain in the healthcare environment has given birth to the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), which consists of a collection of healthcare systems that espouse groundbreaking technologies. Systems consist of inter-linked sensors, wearable technology devices and clinical frameworks that perform explicit, secure machine-to-machine and cloud platform communications.

The significance of IoMT in the field of healthcare is undoubtedly a win-win situation for patients through technology enhancements and a collection of analytics that helps in better diagnosis and treatment. Due to higher accuracy levels, IoMT devices are more reliable in reporting and data tracking and help avoid human errors and incorrect reporting.

Provides methods for constructing novel IoMT architectures and middleware services for healthcare applications to protect and secure patient data and privacy
Presents readers with information security and privacy models for IoMT, including Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning, Data Storage security, Cloud, Fog and Edge computing security, and Wireless sensor device security
Provides readers with case studies for real-world applications of IoMT security, including risk assessment for IoMT, Ethical issues in IoMT, Security assessment frameworks, and Threat-based security analysis for IoMT
