Smart Sensing has shown notable contributions in the healthcare industry and revamps immense advancement. With this, the present smart sensing applications such as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) applications are elongated in the COVID-19 outbreak to facilitate the victims and alleviate the extensive contamination frequency of this pathogenic virus. Although, the existing IoMT applications are utilized productively in this pandemic, but somehow, the Quality of Service (QoS) metrics are overlooked, which is the basic need of these applications followed by patients, physicians, nursing staff, etc. In this review article, we will give a comprehensive assessment of the QoS of IoMT applications used in this pandemic from 2019 to 2021 to identify their requirements and current challenges by taking into account various network components and communication metrics. To claim the contribution of this work, we explored layer-wise QoS challenges in the existing literature to identify particular requirements, and set the footprint for future research. Finally, we compared each section with the existing review articles to acknowledge the uniqueness of this work followed by the answer of a question why this survey paper is needed in the presence of current state-of-the-art review papers.
智能传感在医疗保健行业已展现出显著贡献，并取得了巨大进展。据此，诸如医疗物联网（IoMT）应用等当前的智能传感应用在新冠疫情爆发期间得到了扩展，以帮助患者并降低这种致病病毒的广泛传播频率。尽管现有的IoMT应用在这场疫情中得到了有效利用，但服务质量（QoS）指标在某种程度上被忽视了，而这是患者、医生、护理人员等对这些应用的基本需求。在这篇综述文章中，我们将对2019年至2021年这场疫情中使用的IoMT应用的QoS进行全面评估，通过考虑各种网络组件和通信指标来确定它们的需求和当前面临的挑战。为了表明这项工作的贡献，我们在现有文献中探讨了分层的QoS挑战，以确定特定需求，并为未来研究奠定基础。最后，我们将每个部分与现有的综述文章进行比较，以确认这项工作的独特性，接着回答一个问题：在当前已有最新综述文章的情况下，为何还需要这篇调研论文。
