Adoption of IoT Technology among Elderly NCD Patients in Malaysia: A Conceptual Study Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour

Non-Communicable diseases (NCDs) are rising as the prime cause of death worldwide as well as in Malaysia. This is the result of evolutions occurring in social and economic factors in health. Some of these factors include a proliferation of business and promotion, improved style of living, change in...
