Medical Internet of Things (IoMT) devices have become an important part of modern healthcare. These devices include heart rate monitors, blood pressure monitors, and wearable devices that collect health data and transmit it to medical systems. Although these devices improve patient monitoring and support healthcare professionals, their connection to networks and the internet exposes them to cybersecurity threats. Attackers may exploit security vulnerabilities to access medical data, disrupt devices, or manipulate transmitted information. These risks can be reduced through communication encryption, regular software updates, strong passwords, and the isolation of medical devices from unsecured networks. Regular security testing is also necessary to ensure device safety and protect patients
