Abstract
Canada's healthcare system, renowned worldwide for its commitment to universal medical access, confronts numerous enduring and emerging challenges. These issues stem primarily from an aging population, a shortage of healthcare professionals, and the prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, dementia, and hypertension. The integration of IoT technology into healthcare has shown significant progress, offering powerful tools for real-time data collection. This review commences with exploring various Wearable Internet of Things (WIoT) available in the market, juxtaposed with Canada's healthcare system. It delves into how these wearables contribute to addressing the nation's healthcare challenges, accompanied by a statistical examination of market growth and influence. This qualitative study aims to understand the factors impacting the use of wearable Internet of Things in health care management in Canada. Online observations of WIoT devices scrutinize various intelligent wearable products, their predominant usage patterns, and the challenges faced by the users. This preliminary investigation into Canada's healthcare WIoT market endeavors to enhance our understanding and guide further research to fulfill pertinent marketing requirements in a quantitative study.
