ABSTRACT. Despite the relevance of Internet of Things-based medical applications, only limited research has been conducted on this topic. Using and replicating data from Accenture, Aruba, Deloitte, HIS, McKinsey & Co., and PAC, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding value to date from artificial intelligence adoption, by business function (% of respondents), business functions in which artificial intelligence has been adopted, by industry (% of respondents), worldwide revenue forecast of the home healthcare device and service market (in millions of $), and the preparedness of connected medical device manufacturers towards the implementation of industry specific and wider regulatory changes (%). The results of a study based on data collected from 4,200 respondents provide support for my research model. Using the structural equation modeling and employing the probability sampling technique, I gathered and analyzed data through a self-administrated questionnaire.
