ABSTRACT. I draw on a substantial body of theoretical and empirical research on whether Internet of Medical Things improve capabilities for COVID-19 treatment and reduce transmission of the disease, and to explore this, I inspected, used, and replicated survey data from Accenture, Axendia, Deloitte, Ericsson ConsumerLab, GlobalWebIndex, and Management Events, performing analyses and making estimates regarding how telemedicine, virtual care, and data sharing as regards COVID-19-infected persons bring about epidemiologic benefits. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and test the proposed conceptual model.
