ABSTRACT
The use of digitally enabled technologies facilitating exchange of clinical and administrative healthcare is generally accepted, offering value to all actors operating within healthcare environments. The increasing use of everyday technology within society identifies its multifaceted use, enhancing societal interconnectivity. The actor-network theory model importantly bridges the rise of everyday technology and human participation demonstrating both social and technological facets. Information communication technology (ICT) has become increasingly utilised for information and data transfer in the last decade. This has led to a number of countries implementing and continuously updating ICT systems within healthcare organisations in order to manage and enhance patient safety. R. Rawassizadeh et al. identified the approximate growth of smartwatch sales reaching 214 million by 2018 and penetrating health research since 2014, enabling technical function, supported with acceptability and effectiveness in order to enhance the everyday life of individuals.
