Abstract

The integration of wearable IoMT in healthcare systems throws wide-open the potential for patient care, real-time monitoring, and personalized medicine, but sustainability brings its own set of challenges and opportunities. This chapter discusses the environmental impact, efficiency in energy consumption, and lifecycle management for sustainable development in wearable IoMT. Some of the major challenges are electronic waste, energy consumption, data security, and privacy. Sustainability in wearable IoMT offers opportunities in the adoption of renewable energy, the development of low-power devices, and robust data protection mechanisms. Reduction in the ecological footprint of wearable IoMT devices can be served by considering the importance of sustainable practice in manufacturing, recycling, and biodegradable materials. It seems that innovative solutions can improve sustainability while maintaining quality care for patients.
