Abstract: 
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMTs) is gradually replacing the traditional healthcare system. However, little attention has been paid to their security requirements in the development of the IoMT devices and systems. One of the main reasons can be the difficulty of tuning conventional security solutions to the IoMT system. With this recent growing demand for IoMT, the associated technologies and its interconnected, heterogeneous nature add new concerns as it becomes accessible to confidential patient data, often without patient or medical staff consciousness, as the security and privacy of IoMT devices and technologies are often overlooked and undermined by relevant stakeholders. Hence, the growing security breaches that target the IoMT in healthcare are making the security and privacy of Medical IoT a crucial topic that is worth scrutinizing. In this study, we examined the current state of security and privacy of the IoMT, which has become of utmost concern among many security experts and researchers due to its rapid demand in recent times.
