This paper summarises a programme of PhD research relevant to federated machine learning for IoMT-informed patient care. Sensing performance, data quality and stakeholder perceptions are key to the clinical outcomes that can be achieved in future healthcare systems. However, IoMT data quality challenges are complex and multi-faceted, and could significantly impact clinical decisions that depend on accurate and timely data. The paper outlines the research context and challenges, summarises progress and candidate research questions, and discusses potential solutions, and topics for future research in this area.
