Improving the Security and Confidentiality in the Internet of Medical Things Based on Edge Computing Using Clustering

Families, physicians, and hospital environments use remote patient monitoring (RPM) technologies to remotely monitor a patient’s vital signs, reduce visit time, reduce hospital costs, and improve the quality of care. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is provided by applications that provide remo...
