Internet of Medical Things (IOMT) or healthcare Internet of Thing (IOT) is a collection of medical devices andapplications that connect the various healthcare systems based on IT through online computer networks. The devices areconnected the output Wi-Fi allowing the M-M (machine to machine) communication through IOMT. IOMT providesvarious applications including remote patient monitoring (RPM), wearable fitness bands (WFB), hospital beds that aresensor equipped and many-more. IOMT allows communication of medical devices without the intervention of human. Thewidespread deployment of IOMT faces challenges of security, privacy, connectivity as well as compatibility. IOMT basedsystems suffer from various security breaches and hacking attacks. Traditional security measures of login/password do notcompliment IOT based systems. So this research chapter proposes a novel Biometric Based Internet of Medical Things(BBIOMT) technology that is unique and spoof free. The BBIOMT approach eliminates shortcomings of traditionalpassword schemes and offer a much superior authentication solution.
