The internet of medical things is one of the greatest marvels of the 21st century. Research indicates that after the covid-19 pandemic IoMT has gained a lot of popularity due to its demand in E-health and more particularly in telehealth and telemedicine. However, all the existing IoMT initiatives are at their early stage of development and require a more advanced approach within their domain. More significant, concerning the use of IoT in both the software and hardware arena, the lack of knowledge and experience to manufacture IoMT devices is observed. Thus, the health system is aware that there are substantial challenges to implementing IoMT software and hardware. In this paper, we aim to provide a high-level review of existing IoMT data interoperability, product design, product’s market adoption, data challenges. Also, we are providing practical suggestions through implementing semi-automated systems using cloud computing, and artificial intelligence via digital health platforms. Knowing these provided high-level suggestions will enhance the process of IoMT production and provide better and more reliable healthcare and remote monitoring system.
