Systematic Review of Healthcare IoT and Rapid Prototyping Applications: Addressing Challenges and Implementation

Healthcare innovations like the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and rapid prototyping (RP) enable realtime patient monitoring, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. This review highlights remote patient care, pandemic response, and system interoperability applications of these technologies from multiple studies from 2019–2024. These innovations have great potential, but high implementation costs, data security concerns, and scalability issues prevent widespread adoption. This review uses diverse global case studies to identify actionable strategies to overcome these barriers and emphasizes the potential for tailoring these technologies to resource-constrained healthcare settings. IoMT and RP can improve healthcare efficiency, equity, and effectiveness by addressing these critical issues.
