The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a paradigm shift in medical education, offering solutions to long-standing educational challenges. IoT-based systems provide real-time data, simulate clinical environments, and enable personalized learning, critical for preparing future healthcare professionals. This study implemented an IoT-based learning platform for a preclinical Doctor of Medicine (MD) course launched for 56 third-year students in a medical school from a developing country. This IoT-enabled learning environment provided students with active, hands-on learning activities that simulated real-world clinical practice. In all, the application of IoT in medical education has revolutionized it into something much more effective, engaging, and student-centered. As an innovative attempt, sharing this process at an early stage of development may inspire enthusiasm for implementing this approach and open the field for further development
