Abstract

Abstract: Recent developments in technology and connectivity have led to the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in many industries. This paper studies the impacts of technologies such as IoT and AI in healthcare through a systematic review of 75 peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles. The analysis reveals exponential growth in the number of articles published in the last decade, a wide variety of publication outlets, a large number of authors, and many conceptual and design science papers, all indicating an emerging field with great publication potential in future years. The analysis further reveals that applications of these technologies are being studied worldwide, not just in the USA but also in many countries in Europe and Asia. The paper also highlights key insights for the top application categories, which include wearables and connectivity, disease detection and treatment, patient care, and sensor networks, and identifies gaps and future research directions related to technology design and acceptance, regulations for data security and privacy, and systems efficacy and safety.

Keywords: internet of things; IoT; artificial intelligence; cognitive computing.
