Description
Arifin and Handayani systematically reviewed in 2026 what makes patients accept Internet of Things technology in health care, from wearable monitors to connected home devices. Following standard review guidelines, they searched eight databases for studies from 2016 to 2024 and kept sixty-two that directly measured patient perspectives.
Perceived usefulness was the strongest driver of acceptance, appearing in eighty-nine percent of studies. Ease of use followed at seventy-six percent, and trust and security at sixty-eight percent, with cost-effectiveness in about half. The main barriers were data security worries, privacy concerns, low digital literacy, and resistance to change, each appearing in a third to two fifths of studies. Most included studies rated good to excellent in quality. The authors offer design and policy strategies to raise acceptance and cut abandonment.
