Abstract:The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) represents a transformative technology that connects medical devices, sensors, and healthcare systems to enable real-time monitoring, data sharing, and advanced decision-making in healthcare. While the technical and clinical potential of IoMT has been researched extensively, the scale and scope of research funding and their influence on research literature production patterns and country health determinants remain unknown. The study presented in this paper covers this gap by employing triangulation of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results reveal a positive trend IoMT in research literature produc-tion. Thematic analysis shows that both funded and non-funded are associated with similar themes; however, founded research is more focused on recent research trends like artificial in-telligence applications in healthcare. Finally, our study revealed the positive association be-tween the number of funded papers and health determinants, suggesting that IoMT research funding might contribute to improved healthcare delivery.
