Abstract According to a report by Allied Market Research they have said that by 2021 the IOMT would most likely reach about $136.8 billion worldwide [12]. This indicates that sooner almost all medical Centre would implement IOMT devices in their Centre and also in their patients’ body to get better result. Having a good growth on this it may indicate on the development of medical. It also proves on the movement from traditional medical to technology era medical whereby for checkups patients does not need to turn up as the device of IOMT would present the data. IOMT devices would allow the Medical Centre to cut cost on certain equipment as they could be done by using small IOMT device. This device is designed to generate data and provide indication for the users. IoMT also saves on the patients waiting time since analysis and prescription can be done on the go and there is no need for queuing up at medical facilities. Appointments can also be scheduled remotely depending on availability of the medical personnel. Because of the dependence on the internet for the transfer and storage or medical data, there is a big risk regarding data privacy and security. The aim of this research is to explore the vulnerabilities associated with IoMT devices that focusing on Mobile Cardiac Telemetry and Respiro Smart Inhaler system and suggest suitable protection mechanisms against the possible attacks to the IoMT devices.
