“…Several authors have proposed the use of WiFi for the communication of the monitoring devices in an IoMT system. For example, Calcagnini et al [42] use WiFi on a network of 45 critical medical care devices, including infusion pumps, defibrillators, lung ventilators and anesthesia machines, and show that WiFi can be effectively and securely applied for the communication of these devices. For IoT compatibility, the WiFi alliance (www.WiFi.org) proposed WiFi HaLow, which operates in spectrum below the one GHz and it is based on IEEE 802.11ah standard.…”

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) couples IoT technologies with healthcare services in order to support real-time, remote patient monitoring and treatment. However, the interconnectivity of critical medical devices with other systems in various network layers creates new opportunities for remote adversaries. Since most of the communication protocols have not been specifically designed for the needs of connected medical devices, there is a need to classify the available IoT communication technologies in terms of security. In this paper we classify IoT communication protocols, with respect to their application in IoMT. Then we describe the main characteristics of IoT communication protocols used at the perception, network and application layer of medical devices. We examine the inherent security characteristics and limitations of IoMT-specific communication protocols. Based on realistic attacks we identify available mitigation controls that may be applied to secure IoMT communications, as well as existing research and implementation gaps.
