Abstract

Abstract Background: Recent studies in information systems have predicted that applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) innovations will revolutionise various sectors including healthcare. Besides the issues and opportunities of IoT based innovations, existing studies have shown limitations to advance the adoption of IoT-understanding and relevant interventions to benefit researchers and healthcare practitioners. Method: In this context, a systematic literature review study was conducted to re-position a qualitative, phenomenological investigation that could offer useful insights into the factors affecting IoT-adoption in a developing country’s healthcare service. In addition to it, five participants who worked in hospitals and clinics in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, took part in the semi-structured interviews developed based on the diffusion of innovation theory. Results: The study explored the relevant literature and evaluated how the outcome is used to identify the key delivers of IoT in healthcare. Conclusions: According to the findings, the capacity of the Saudi healthcare sector to accept and implement a new IT with IoT technologies is increasing and its integrations remains a debated issue.
沙特医疗保健服务采用物联网
背景:最近的信息系统研究预测,物联网(IoT)创新的应用将彻底改变包括医疗保健在内的各个领域。除了基于物联网的创新的问题和机遇之外,现有的研究表明,在推动采用物联网理解和相关干预措施以使研究人员和医疗保健从业者受益方面存在局限性。方法:在此背景下,进行了一项系统的文献综述研究,以重新定位定性的现象学调查,该调查可以为影响发展中国家医疗保健服务中物联网采用的因素提供有用的见解。此外,在沙特阿拉伯吉赞的医院和诊所工作的五名与会者参加了根据创新扩散理论编制的半结构化访谈。结果:该研究探索了相关文献,并评估了如何使用结果来识别医疗保健中物联网的关键交付。结论:根据调查结果,沙特医疗保健部门接受和实施具有物联网技术的新IT的能力正在增加,其集成仍然是一个有争议的问题。
