Information Quality Management for the Medical Wearable Devices: Validation Study

Abstract

Researchers have focused on wearable devices as viable Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in the recent decade. After the epidemic of COVID-19, they are receiving increasing attention. Wearable Internet of Things (IoT) systems must have high information quality (IQ) to be useful. In earlier publications, we developed a comprehensive framework for systematically managing the total information quality of IoT systems. By performing a comparative study, the framework was first shown to be accurate and reliable. In the last publication, medical wearable systems were selected as a single-case experiment to test the framework's usefulness by focusing on the assessment phase. This paper effectively uses the single case to test the rest of the framework phases: awareness and action. In addition, this work clearly illustrates the significance of the framework's three pillars: data quality, IoT, and IQ management procedures.
