Abstract

This study highlights ethical, security, and privacy barriers to IoMT adoption in developing countries and proposes strategies like regulatory frameworks, data encryption, AI transparency, and professional training to address these challenges. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enabling real-time patient monitoring, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and supporting personalized treatments. However, significant privacy, security, and ethical challenges hinder its widespread adoption, particularly in underdeveloped nations. This study employs the PRISMA methodology to systematically review existing literature and identify key barriers to IoMT implementation in healthcare systems, with a focus on developing countries. Through a rigorous selection process, 80 studies were included in the analysis, revealing critical challenges such as inadequate data protection frameworks, ethical concerns around artificial intelligence (AI) in decision-making, and risks of patient data exploitation. The findings provide actionable recommendations for policymakers, including the establishment of robust ethical guidelines, implementation of strong security measures, and use of advanced encryption techniques. Addressing these challenges is crucial to fostering the ethical and secure adoption of IoMT, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes globally Key recommendations for IoMT adoption include the implementation of advanced encryption techniques to safeguard patient data, the establishment of clear informed consent protocols, and the development of ethical guidelines to manage AI’s role in medical decision-making, ensuring transparency and patient autonomy.

Abstract

Rural health facilities in Botswana face significant challenges, including limited infrastructure, poor communication networks, and inadequate access to medical resources, which hinder quality healthcare delivery. This study investigates the feasibility and benefits of implementing Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) in these underserved areas. A MANET is a decentralized wireless network where devices communicate directly with each other without relying on fixed infrastructure, allowing dynamic, self-configuring connections. Key solutions proposed include integrating MANETs with solar-powered systems to ensure continuous operation, developing localized health information systems to enhance data accessibility, and implementing community training programs to build local technical capacity. Additionally, designing resilient network architectures and collaborating with local telecom providers for hybrid solutions can improve reliability and coverage. Utilizing MANETs for real-time health monitoring and emergency alerts can enhance patient outcomes and response capabilities. The real-world implementation of MANETs is expected to improve emergency response times, reduce healthcare delivery delays, and facilitate faster decision-making in critical situations. This paper highlights the potential of MANETs to address healthcare disparities between rural and urban areas by providing sustainable, scalable, and reliable communication infrastructure. Future research should focus on extensive pilot programs, empirical data collection, and exploring the integration of advanced technologies to further enhance healthcare delivery in rural Botswana. These findings aim to inform policymakers and healthcare providers on adopting MANET technology to improve rural healthcare systems.
