What is the difference between IoT and IoMT?
IoT refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other objects that are embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity to enable them to collect and exchange data.
Similarly, IoMT is a subset of IoT that refers specifically to the use of connected devices in the healthcare industry.
They differ from general IoT not just in terms of usage, but also in design.
IoT is often more consumer-focused, designed to provide maximum convenience and usability.
IoMT devices include a range of medical devices, such as wearable fitness trackers, smart pills, and smart medical equipment, that are used to monitor and manage patient health. IoMT devices can also include non-medical devices, such as smartphones and smart watches, that are used for health-related purposes, such as tracking physical activity or monitoring vital signs.
