Abstract

This paper responds to previous calls for a deeper sociotechnical understanding of Internet of Things (IoT) adoption within healthcare. Through a systematic literature review, it synthesizes existing empirical research on the factors influencing IoT adoption, identifying 94 distinct factors grouped into 24 themes. By leveraging sociotechnical systems theory, the paper thoroughly analyzes these factors and proposes a specialized sociotechnical systems framework tailored specifically to IoT adoption in healthcare settings. This study underscores the current dearth of empirical research in this area and emphasizes the need for more studies, particularly those focused on the actual adoption processes of IoT solutions in healthcare contexts. By addressing these gaps, the review aims to significantly contribute to the literature, offering a novel sociotechnical perspective on IoT adoption that complements and enriches prior reviews that have predominantly focused on technical aspects.

对医疗保健领域采用物联网的影响因素进行社会技术分析：系统回顾

本文响应了之前关于从社会技术角度深入了解医疗保健领域采用物联网（IoT）情况的呼吁。通过系统的文献综述，本文对影响物联网应用的因素进行了现有的实证研究，确定了分为 24 个主题的 94 个不同因素。通过利用社会技术系统理论，论文对这些因素进行了深入分析，并提出了专门针对医疗机构物联网应用的社会技术系统框架。本研究强调了目前该领域实证研究的匮乏，并强调需要开展更多研究，特别是那些关注医疗环境中物联网解决方案实际采用过程的研究。通过填补这些空白，本综述旨在为相关文献做出重大贡献，为物联网的采用提供一个新颖的社会技术视角，补充并丰富之前主要关注技术方面的综述。

期刊介绍： Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
