Abstract

BACKGROUND: World Health Organization (WHO) identified noncommunicable diseases as the foremost risk to public health globally and the cause of approximately 80% of premature deaths. However, Cardiovascular diseases account for most of these premature deaths and established threats to public health. Recently, digitization of health consultancy services through mHealth (e.g., mobile applications) using artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled Internet of Things has notably facilitated the accessibility of expert advice and continuous monitoring of Cardiac health on public health matters, making it more convenient for adoption in recent times. Nonetheless, scant attention has been paid to how digital media might encourage the adoption of digitally based health consulting services while accounting for the current IoT, Digital Divide, and Individual Trust conditions. Given this status quo, this study contributes to the body of literature by delving into an unexplored evaluation of the role digital media advertising plays in outlining the characteristics and effectiveness of AI-enabled IoT mHealth.
