Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the healthcare sector by introducing interconnected technologies that enhance remote monitoring, resource management, and service delivery. Its ability to improve scalability and performance makes a critical component of modern healthcare, particularly in addressing growing demands and resource limitations. The goal is to evaluate the role and importance of IoT technologies in improving healthcare scalability and performance, based on insights from healthcare providers and statistical analyses. To gain insights, opinions from 43 healthcare providers were collected, focusing on the significance of IoT in healthcare operations. Regression analysis, ANOVA, and paired t-tests were used to assess the relationships between IoT implementation and its impact on service quality, efficiency, and scalability. These statistical tools provided a robust framework for analyzing the benefits and challenges associated with IoT technologies. The analysis revealed that IoT significantly enhances healthcare scalability and performance. Key outcomes include improved patient monitoring, optimized resource allocation, cost-effective service delivery, healthcare service efficiency and patient satisfaction and experience. Healthcare providers emphasized the importance of IoT in meeting the needs of underserved regions and managing increased demand. Statistical tests validated these observations, demonstrating strong correlations between IoT adoption and improved operational outcomes. The statistical tests indicated healthcare service efficiency had the most significant impact through the paired t-test (t = 8.92, p = 0.000), regression analysis (β = 0.65, p = 0.000), and ANOVA (f = 10.8, p = 0.001), highlighting IoT's role in optimizing healthcare operations. IoT technologies play a pivotal role in modern healthcare by addressing challenges related to accessibility, affordability, and service efficiency. By leveraging connected devices, healthcare systems can deliver better outcomes, meet growing demands, and achieve sustainable improvements in scalability and performance.
