description Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a rapidly evolving field with the potential to bring significant changes to healthcare. While several surveys have examined the structure and operation of these systems, critical aspects such as <i>interoperability</i>, <i>sustainability</i>, <i>security</i>, <i>runtime self-adaptation</i>, and <i>configurability</i> are sometimes overlooked. Interoperability is essential for integrating data from various devices and platforms to provide a comprehensive view of a patient’s health. Sustainability addresses the environmental impact of IoMT technologies, crucial in the context of green computing. Security ensures the protection of sensitive patient data from breaches and manipulation. Runtime self-adaptation allows systems to adjust to changing patient conditions and environments. Configurability enables IoMT frameworks to monitor diverse patient conditions and manage different treatment paths. This article reviews current techniques addressing these aspects and highlights areas requiring further research.
