Qualitative study on the role of innovation ecosystems in supporting ‘Internet of Things’

Internet of Things (IoT) innovations such as wearables and sensors promise improved health outcomes and service efficiencies.

We sought to examine the multiple interacting influences on IoT implementation, spread and scale-up, including the role of regional innovation ‘ecosystems’ and the impact of the COVID-19 context.
