This report explores the current state of Internet of Things (IoT) adoption and usage in OECD countries among businesses, households, and individuals. It analyzes IoT trends based on semiconductors, patents, venture capital investments, and firms. Additionally, it includes two case studies that examine the implementation of IoT in manufacturing and healthcare.
Case study on the Internet of Things in healthcare
This chapter presents the findings from a case study on Internet of Things (IoT) adoption in healthcare. While data from information and communication technology (ICT) usage surveys provide information on the uptake of IoT health monitoring devices by individuals, limited information is available on the adoption of such devices by hospitals and general practitioners. Information on the effects of their adoption is also scattered. The case study’s findings contribute to filling this information gap, particularly regarding the use of smart devices for remote patient monitoring.
