The Effect of Not Using Internet of Things in Critical Life Situations in the Health Field and the Effect on Iraqi Profitability: Empirical Study in Basra

Abstract

Internet of things (IOT) is an emerging field in Iraq that has gained research interest. One of its most important aspects concerns how to bind IOT to enhance healthcare in Iraq. This study was conducted at the College of Computer Science and Information Technology. It discussed the effect of not using IOT to manage critical life-threatening situations in Iraqi healthcare. In this study, we considered IOT technology, particularly the DRONE ambulance, using real data collected via a random questionnaire study in Basra. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 0.23. At the end of the study, we identified the factors that could have affected the use of IOT technology: awareness, security, cost, governmental support, collaboration, and professional behavior. The results showed that collaboration affected the use of IOT technology.
