EVALUATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS IN HEALTH SERVICES WITH MULTI CRITERIA DECISION-MAKING METHODS

Background: With the technology developing all over the world, there is a transition period to the Industry 4.0 revolution in the field of health. The Internet of Things is one of the themes of Industry 4.0. Treatments applied in diseases have increased the use of health services with the increase in the world population. For this reason, there is a healthcare sector among the areas where the internet of things has turned into technology. Objectives: The impact of the Internet of Things potential on healthcare organizations is especially based on the reliability of patients and other institutions accessibility and sensitivity. It is very important to establish a correct and timely diagnosis and to start the treatment process in health institutions. The most important unit that is effective in providing these treatment processes is operating rooms. In this process, the integration of devices with internet technology and use by healthcare professionals provides more effective follow-up of patients. Thus, it contributes to the treatment process. In this study, the internet transition of things in the health sector is examined. Methods: In this study, the analytical network process method was used. ANP method was used because of the interaction and feedback between the criteria. Results: The internet potential of things in health services was evaluated using the analytical network process method. The evaluation and the determining criteria are aimed to increase the efficiency of the operating rooms and hospitals.
