- Description
- The Internet of Things (IoT) has proliferated over the last few years as the next-generation technologies that impact both on human systems and businesses. Using today's Internet network capacities, this technology has extended various benefits in healthcare sectors. For instance, existing studies already indicated that information technology (IT) applications with IoT-based innovations may revolutionise the healthcare industry and subsequently help to improve the real-time reporting of patients' health data. It should be noted that the adoption of IoT and its relevant interventions in health sector have not been as fast as the uptake been observed in other industries. To tackle this issue, we develop a qualitative phenomenological approach for investigating factors that affect IoT adoption and its integration into healthcare service delivery in Saudi Arabia. To this end, the study aims to reveal practical experiences of healthcare professionals or service administrators in using IoT devices as they deliver medical services.
