A Systematic Review of Internet of Things in Clinical Laboratories: Opportunities, Advantages, and Challenges.

ABSTRACT: The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software, electronics, and online connectivity systems. This study explores the role of IoT in clinical laboratory processes; this systematic review was conducted adhering to the PRISMA Statement 2020 guidelines. We included IoT models and applications across preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical laboratory processes. PubMed, Cochrane Central, CINAHL Plus, Scopus, IEEE, and A.C.M. Digital library were searched between August 2015 to August 2022; the data were tabulated. Cohen's coefficient of agreement was calculated to quantify inter-reviewer agreements; a total of 18 studies were included with Cohen's coefficient computed to be 0.91. The included studies were divided into three classifications
