“…Smart Systems or IoMT-assisted healthcare can deliver significant benefits. Managing cardiovascular diseases, dementia, chronic diseases, and post-surgery patient care can all be streamlined or optimized through Smart Systems and deliver economic efficiencies in trillions of dollars as well as save thousands or even millions of lives per year [15][16][17][18]. Most clinician and patient interactions within the healthcare system involve the use of medical equipment and electronic devices [3,6].…”

“…Nearables are devices that occupy the same physical space as the rehabilitating patient [56]. Unlike smart wearables, such as fitness trackers or blood pressure monitors, they are not attached to the patient's body [12,15]. Nearables can include specialized custom devices that sense a patient's movements [26,54,57] or commercial devices such as Amazon Alexa™ and Google Home™.…”

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) offers promising ways to meet healthcare needs of patients recovering in their own homes and other environments. Interconnected and resilient smart systems offer innovative and cost-effective ways of supporting patients by capitalizing on available devices and networking infrastructure. However, future environments will not be uniformly smart, and there will be asymmetries where our environments’ (home, work, etc.) resources and capabilities differ. Technological solutions will need to adapt to such asymmetries and provide high-quality service and equitable healthcare. This article presents a systematic mapping study that explores opportunities and challenges in building next-generation IoMT smart systems for future environments. The study spans academic literature published in the decade from 2011 to 2021, profiling it from three distinct perspectives: Smart Systems, Future Environments, and Tech-Assisted Health. Each perspective was explored via a Domain Expert-Driven Systematic Mapping protocol to establish where the research is focused and to identify research gaps. From an initial search of 495 studies, 113 were mapped to a set of predefined ontology classes, spanning 6 strategic focus categories. The mapping identified sensing technologies for medical vitals and sensor fusion technologies to combine measurements for more complex analysis, cloud platforms, and connectivity challenges; health conditions that have received the most attention in healthcare smart systems; issues and opportunities in handling large data volumes in integrated smart systems; as well as security and privacy challenges. We find that future middleware frameworks will require a greater degree of interoperability and maturity to fully deliver value. Promising middleware and integration frameworks will require significant adaption and refinement to coexist effectively with current healthcare technologies. Privacy and security are critical factors in healthcare but are currently poorly supported by IoT infrastructures, especially across multiple environments.

“…WBANs can communicate with each other if needed for data dissemination, for example, via WiFi, ZigBee, and Narrowband [ 7 , 10 , 11 ]. In general, WBANs include several types of emerging sensing devices, including medical wearable and implanted sensors used in Electrocardiography (ECG), Electroencephalography (EEG), Electromyography (EMG), and blood pressure and motion detectors [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. They may also include a Control Unit (CU) (e.g, a patient’s smartphone) [ 18 , 19 ] that collects physiological and highly sensitive healthcare data from connected sensors and forwards this information to other devices using short-range communication technology [ 12 , 20 ].…”

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are an emerging industrial technology for monitoring physiological data. These networks employ medical wearable and implanted biomedical sensors aimed at improving quality of life by providing body-oriented services through a variety of industrial sensing gadgets. The sensors collect vital data from the body and forward this information to other nodes for further services using short-range wireless communication technology. In this paper, we provide a multi-aspect review of recent advancements made in this field pertaining to cross-domain security, privacy, and trust issues. The aim is to present an overall review of WBAN research and projects based on applications, devices, and communication architecture. We examine current issues and challenges with WBAN communications and technologies, with the aim of providing insights for a future vision of remote healthcare systems. We specifically address the potential and shortcomings of various Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) architectures and communication schemes that are proposed to maintain security, privacy, and trust within digital healthcare systems. Although current solutions and schemes aim to provide some level of security, several serious challenges remain that need to be understood and addressed. Our aim is to suggest future research directions for establishing best practices in protecting healthcare data. This includes monitoring, access control, key management, and trust management. The distinguishing feature of this survey is the combination of our review with a critical perspective on the future of WBANs.
