About the Book
There has been unprecedented advancement in information technology in the last two decades. In particular, Internet connectivity and Internet usage have seen huge growth. According to recent statistics, there are 5.18 Billion Internet users worldwide, which is close to 65% of the global population. In addition, social media users are close to 4.8 billion. One of the critical infrastructures that embraced Internet-based products is healthcare. Since the number of healthcare service seekers across the world is growing at a rapid pace, service providers rely on the Internet-connected ecosystem, which is also known as the critical health infrastructure, Internet of Health Things (IoHT) or Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). The importance of IoHT has been well experienced during the covid-19 pandemic.
​
