Internet of Things for Healthcare: Evaluate User’s Acceptance and Sustainability During Pandemics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Technological Sustainability and Business Competitive Advantage

Part of the book series: Internet of Things ((ITTCC))

Abstract

The prolonged pandemic has put a burden on the world’s healthcare systems, public services, and economy. With lockdowns and working from home, it has additionally put us to the test in every way possible. With increasing cases and innovation in healthcare industry, COVID-19 testing, building health, and remote device maintenance, IoT technology opens up new possibilities and can help us develop a new normal. The potential acceptance of this type of new technology is a very challenging issue and has been studied by many authors. Further, many authors have looked into the difficult topic of how these new technologies might be accepted in the future. In order to identify influential writers and their points of view, a thorough literature review was done in the field of technological acceptance. This current research considered technology acceptance model (TAM) and diffusion of technology (DoI) model to measure the user’s acceptance of IoT for healthcare.
