AI-Enabled Wearable Medical Internet of Things in Healthcare System: A Survey

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors of this article have presented a detailed survey on AI-enabled wearable medical internet of things in healthcare. The paper aims to cover all the advancement made in wearable Medical Internet of Things (IoMTs) for healthcare systems, which has been scrutinized from the perceptions of their efficacy in detecting, preventing, and monitoring diseases in healthcare. This paper thoroughly discusses all the directions proposed by the researchers to improve healthcare through wearable devices and artificial intelligence. The approaches adopted by the researchers to improve the overall accuracy, efficiency, and security of the healthcare system are discussed in detail. This paper also highlights all the constraints and opportunities of developing AI enabled IoT-based healthcare systems. Overall, the quality of the paper is very good. I would suggest adding the points given below to further improve the quality of the manuscript:

 

Comment 1: The article contains few grammatical mistakes. It is advised to thoroughly check to avoid grammatical or typo errors.

 

Comment 2: It is advised to add the latest diseases healthcare systems detail as well such as COVID-19, Moneypox etc.

 

Comment 3: Applications of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMTs) should be discussed in detail.

Reviewer 2

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are extensively employed to link accessible medical resources, deliver dependable, and effective intelligent healthcare. Body wearable gadgets have currently flickered attention as powerful devices for healthcare applications. This study provides a survey of the advancement made in wearable Medical Internet of Things (IoMTs) for healthcare systems. Therefore, I think that the paper makes a contribution and has the potential to be published in the Applied Sciences. However, I summarize in the GENERAL COMMENTS as follows: 

Comment 1: The novelty of this manuscript is limited. The authors should clearly explain the importance and value of this survey.

Our response: Thank you for the comment. In this survey, the authors have conducted a thorough examination of wearable Internet of Things devices that have been used to track health throughout the preceding 20 years. Modern wearable technology, such as ECG monitoring, glucose sensing, blood pressure monitoring, and wheelchair management Covid 19 symptoms detecting gadgets that are used today, is detailed in depth. People can stay active and get emotional fulfillment through technology thanks to wearable technologies.

Comment 2: Section 3 presents the smart wearable devices for healthcare, and Section 4 presents the challenges and issues related to smart wearable devices. These two sections are very important for the full paper. There are many such applications of wearable devices, and the author should give an overview by category. Unfortunately, the author is just a simple literature list. The author should give an in-depth analysis.

Our response: Thank you for the valuable comment. According to the suggestion, we have made appropriate changes in section 3. Subsections (3.15–3.18) are included that added new diverse forms of wearable technology.
