“…Clinicians, nurses, medical workers, pharmacists, and other healthcare practitioners were involved in the included research (such as nutritionists, social workers, occupational therapists, and care services). Some other studies (4 papers) exclusively involved physicians [ 43 , 45 , 50 , 52 ]. The rest of the publications focused on patient (4 papers) [ 40 , 51 , 57 , 58 ], and end-users of IoT device in healthcare (9 papers) [ 40 , 52 ] (see Table 4 ).…”

“…Individual factors in IoT adoption represented 16 elements (26%) among the total extracted elements. As shown in Figure 7 the most common factor identified was social influence factor, which is repeated six times [ 40 , 43 , 45 , 49 , 60 ]. Generally, professionals thought that IoT technology adoption is affected by social impact and conviction to receive support to use IoT technology in their activities, and it is used as facilitators more often than as barriers [ 40 , 45 , 49 ].…”

In general, the adoption of IoT applications among end users in healthcare is very low. Healthcare professionals present major challenges to the successful implementation of IoT for providing healthcare services. Many studies have offered important insights into IoT adoption in healthcare. Nevertheless, there is still a need to thoroughly review the effective factors of IoT adoption in a systematic manner. The purpose of this study is to accumulate existing knowledge about the factors that influence medical professionals to adopt IoT applications in the healthcare sector. This study reviews, compiles, analyzes, and systematically synthesizes the relevant data. This review employs both automatic and manual search methods to collect relevant studies from 2015 to 2021. A systematic search of the articles was carried out on nine major scientific databases: Google Scholar, Science Direct, Emerald, Wiley, PubMed, Springer, MDPI, IEEE, and Scopus. A total of 22 articles were selected as per the inclusion criteria. The findings show that TAM, TPB, TRA, and UTAUT theories are the most widely used adoption theories in these studies. Furthermore, the main perceived adoption factors of IoT applications in healthcare at the individual level are: social influence, attitude, and personal inattentiveness. The IoT adoption factors at the technology level are perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, performance expectancy, and effort expectations. In addition, the main factor at the security level is perceived privacy risk. Furthermore, at the health level, the main factors are perceived severity and perceived health risk, respectively. Moreover, financial cost, and facilitating conditions are considered as the main factors at the environmental level. Physicians, patients, and health workers were among the participants who were involved in the included publications. Various types of IoT applications in existing studies are as follows: a wearable device, monitoring devices, rehabilitation devices, telehealth, behavior modification, smart city, and smart home. Most of the studies about IoT adoption were conducted in France and Pakistan in the year 2020. This systematic review identifies the essential factors that enable an understanding of the barriers and possibilities for healthcare providers to implement IoT applications. Finally, the expected influence of COVID-19 on IoT adoption in healthcare was evaluated in this study.

“…This is because Internet connectivity provides Internet intelligence to physical products and converts them into smart products (e.g., smart cities and smart homes) [28,37]. The IoT provides abundant opportunities to be exploited by companies and societies as a whole [33,[38][39][40]. These include applications for cars with built-in WIFI-controlled sensors, chips attached to farm animals, heart monitoring devices, temperature or light controlling systems, washing machines, refrigerators, coffee machines, and so forth [27,41].…”

This paper highlights the effectiveness of data stored from the operational use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for generating marketing-related outcomes, such as business intelligence for product development, product support, and customer relationship management (CRM), by exploring this research domain under the lens of the well-established means–ends theory. This study conducted a multidisciplinary literature review to develop the conceptual framework. Moreover, a smart refrigerator was chosen as an example to demonstrate how the analysis of data stored from the operational use of IoT devices can help generate marketing outcomes such as new product development, customer support, and CRM. The study articulates that IoT technology helps in furthering the objectives of CRM along with other strategies of business growth and success. Using a practical example backed by a sound theoretical framework, this study will not only help practitioners to empirically test this significant yet under-explored topic but will also help elucidate that, by embedding IoT devices in their products, business managers can ensure business longevity. Furthermore, it explains how the IoT can provide support to improve communication ties between the product manufacturer and consumer through product support and CRM strategies.
