Ethical and Regulatory Challenges in Securing the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT): A Technical and Policy Perspectives

Mostafa Rahmany, Arunmozhi Selvi

Abstract: The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is revolutionizing healthcare through real-time monitoring and personalized interventions. However, its rapid adoption raises urgent ethical and regulatory challenges, particularly concerning data privacy and cybersecurity. This research critically examines vulnerabilities within IoMT systems and evaluates current global regulatory gaps. It presents a secure proof-of-concept diabetic monitoring system that aligns with privacy-by-design principles, demonstrating the feasibility of ethical implementation. Using empirical evidence, regulatory analysis, and cost-benefit evaluation, the study argues for a harmonized regulatory framework that prioritizes ethical compliance and system security.

Keywords: IoMT security, data privacy, healthcare technology, ethical compliance, regulatory frameworks
