Abstract
Bioengineering due to advancement in technological innovation has grown and expanded its horizons in various allied field but this paper will deal with biomedical engineering, and it’s interlinked with Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) its applicational concerns and issues relating to lack of standardization and regulation of IoMT across the world. Herein the paper the author firstly will discuss about the distinction and interrelationship between bioengineering and biomedical engineering and how they are overlapping with each other. Bioengineering is a broader canopy that encompasses various allied fields within itself of which biomedical engineering is one. Due to technologically innovative advancement because of Internet of Things (IoT) rapid growth that has been adapted in medical health care sector too and medical healthcare sector are using varied IoMT devices that had eased the functionality of medical professionals but at the same time had raised various concerns and challenges pertaining to data security, cybersecurity, privacy, and confidentiality. Medical professionals are regulated strictly nationally and internationally but regulation of IoMT is challenging due to lack of standardize practices, policies and procedures not at place, lack of trained IoT medical professionals and when such devices connected with internet networks that may faces data breaches which could risk the data that could be tampered, privacy infringement when not authorized and how it shared at different levels could lead concerns about IoMT. Biomedical devices preventive and protective measures mechanisms could be place are dealt.
