Abstract

The bibliographic review is a fundamental phase in a research project, and it must guarantee that the most relevant information in the field of study is obtained. Our main objective was to know the works related to the Internet of medical things, from now on (IoMT).  We analyzed a total of 535 articles searched in Association for Computing Machinery in Adelante ACM, Web of Science and Scopus the search domain was IoMT, we established 3 parameters, (problematic, artifact and artifact evaluation), this according to the Research of Design Science in Adelante DSR, is a research approach for the construction of artifacts to provide a useful solution to a problem in each domain. The equation (Internet of things AND mesh) resulted in 535, (Internet of things AND medicine) a total of 417 and finally (Internet of medical things AND mesh) with 8, this means that there is a lot to investigate in this research domain. The advantages identified in this type of topology is to carry messages from one node to another by different paths, there can be absolutely no interruption in communications, each server has its own communica-tions with all other servers. Health and IT issues have been drastically influenced by the large data from IoMT devic-es. In this paper, we conducted a review of the scientific literature and mapped research trends on the IoMT paradigm in the health domain. Finally, this paper expands on the liter-ature, and the findings of this study can serve as a basis for future studies.
