A case-study to examine doctors� intentions to use IoT healthcare devices in Iraq during COVID-19 pandemic
Purpose: Several countries have been using internet of things (IoT) devices in the healthcare sector to combat COVID-19. Therefore, this study aims to examine the doctors� intentions to use IoT healthcare devices in Iraq during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: This study proposed...

Therefore, this study aims to examine the doctors� intentions to use IoT healthcare devices in Iraq during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: This study proposed a model based on the integration of the innovation diffusion theory (IDT). This included compatibility, trialability and image and a set of exogenous factors such as computer self-efficacy, privacy and cost into the technology acceptance model comprising perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude and behavioral intention to use. Findings: The findings revealed that compatibility and image of the IDT factors, have a significant impact on the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and behavioral intention, but trialability has a significant impact on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and insignificant impact on behavioral intention. Additionally, external factors such as privacy and cost significantly impacted doctors� behavioral intention to use. Moreover, doctors� computer self-efficacy significantly influenced the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and behavioral intention to use. Furthermore, perceived ease of use has a significant impact on perceived usefulness and attitude, perceived usefulness has a significant impact on attitude, which, in turn, significantly impacting doctors' behavior toward an intention to use. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the present study are the retractions of the number of participants and the lack of qualitative methods. Originality/value: The finding of this study could benefit researchers, doctors and policymakers in the adaption of IoT technologies in the health sectors, especially in developing counties. � 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.
