The limitations of AI in the healthcare business are as follows: Ethical issues include a
range of concerns pertaining to equitable treatment, responsible conduct, open disclosure,
and the preservation of human dignity in the development and use of AI. Furthermore, they
involve the safeguarding of privacy, the acquisition of informed consent, and the preser-
vation of autonomy for both patients and healthcare professionals. Legal issues include
the establishment and oversight of liability, accountability, and ownership pertaining to
AI systems and their consequences. Additionally, adherence to both current and evolving
laws and regulations is crucial [6]. Social issues include the examination and resolution of
the possible implications of AI on human relationships, trust, communication, and empow-
erment within the healthcare sector. Additionally, this involves the effective management
of the expectations, perceptions, and attitudes of many stakeholders. Technical challenges
include the establishment of the credibility and dependability of AI systems and data, as
well as the resolution of concerns related to security and compatibility. Additionally, it is
crucial to address the constraints, prejudices, and uncertainties inherent in AI algorithms
and models [7].
The application of IoMT in the healthcare industry is, essentially, the use of a ground-
breaking technology, but it presents a series of obstacles that need resolution. One of the
primary challenges is the matter of privacy and security [8]. The transmission of sensitive
medical information across many devices and networks poses a potential vulnerability to
cyber-attacks and data breaches. Another significant obstacle is the need for universally
accepted and standardized procedures [8].
In [9], the authors propose a set of pre-trained algorithms that can correctly categorize
endoscopic images of GI diseases and disorders. Classifying illnesses of the gastrointestinal
system is the focus of this research, which proposes a weighted average ensemble model
dubbed GIT-NET. In this review article [10], the authors set out to bring the reader up
to speed on the latest research and applications of AI in perinatology, with a particular
emphasis on newborn critical care and the possibilities presented by precision medicine.
The research in [11] shows that IoT wearable devices with AI-based algorithms built into
them were highly successful and efficient in detecting and anticipating insights related
to COVID-19. The study’s findings show that AI is an exciting field of study with vast
potential for improving healthcare worldwide in areas such as illness prediction, disease
forecasting, medication discovery, and healthcare infrastructure development.
According to the study in [12], data from electronic health records are shown as
increasingly valuable assets for empirical research. Knowledge of the electronic health
records system and its differences from existing observational data is necessary for the ML-
based transformation of real-world data and electronic health records data for research and
real-world evidence. The research in [13] questioned medical researchers at the University
of Luebeck and the University Hospital of Tuebingen to ascertain their current levels
of awareness of AI chatbots, specifically in the context of the healthcare environment. A
quantitative survey and qualitative analysis of focus groups were used to learn how medical
students felt about artificial intelligence and chatbots in the medical field. This would help
determine what is needed to successfully include AI in future medical education. The goal
was to obtain a general comprehension of the technology’s possible benefits, drawbacks,
and dangers.
In [14], the authors suggested a compression technique for bio-signals well-suited to
IoMT use. This approach uses block-based HWT to isolate features from the input signal
and then uses the innovative COVIDOA to choose the most significant characteristics
for reconstruction. Utilizing wireless communication transmission technologies from the
industrial IoT, a smart data transmission model is suggested for use in the IoMT [15]. This
model compensates for the flaws of previous IoMT models with its capacity for high-
quality data transfer, accurate accident diagnostic categorization, and real-time anomaly
monitoring. In [16], researchers created a new model for energy-conscious clustering and
medical data categorization using the squirrel search algorithm and IoT. Maximum energy
efficiency and accurate disease detection in an IoT setting are also goals of the proposed

method. In [17], researchers employ a novel pre-trained DL model to provide an efficient
measurement of prediction accuracy. To build accurate medical signs, treatments, and
diagnoses, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis, such as self-supervised transfer
learning, to monitor the effects of the DL models.
There is a marked lack of quantitative research in favor of qualitative approaches
in the bulk of the papers. Statistical modeling must be carried out to measure how each
big data approach affects clinical routines [18]. Healthcare strategy, quality of service,
resilience, and agility may all be improved and optimized with the use of AI and IoMT,
giving researchers and practitioners more industrial control over the system. There is
much room for growth in the field of human resource development due to the lack of
studies on educating employees to adopt AI and IoMT [18]. Surgeons undertaking complex
procedures may find the metaverse to be a helpful tool, ultimately leading to better patient
care. New metaverse-based solutions may provide patients with immediate feedback
on their test results. Since clinical studies are needed to establish whether or not the
metaverse is a valuable tool for surgery, its implementation will occur gradually at first.
Like robot-assisted surgery, we expect the metaverse to gain popularity as its applications
expand [19].
