The term ‘telemedicine’ is referred to as healing remotely with the help of
digital technologies by healthcare providers to detect and treat sufferers. Due to
necessary physical distancing and lack of appropriate treatments during the Covid-19
pandemic times, telemedicine has proven to be a secure interactive mechanism between
patients and medical professionals. The telemedicine framework is part of the Internet
of Medical Things (IoMT) since it allows many medical devices to connect and share
data. IoT has a lot of benefits in Telemedicine. It aids doctors in gaining access to vital
data from medical devices, real-time monitoring of patients, assisting sick and elderly
people, and distant medical support. Apart from benefits for patients, it also benefits
hospitals and insurance companies. Moreover, distant monitoring of a patient's
condition tends to shorten hospital stays. It has a huge effect on lowering healthcare
costs and enhancing treatment methods. Many wearable devices, like heart rate
monitoring devices, blood pressure monitoring devices, glucometers, etc., provide a
way to access the patient’s health information. The proposed study revealed different
applications of IoT in healthcare for various diseases and disorders, various medical
sensors, and notable wearable devices in healthcare.
