This research aims to discover the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and applications available for health monitoring during infectious disease outbreaks. Currently studies about IoT and health monitoring are reviewed to identify applications. Then we randomly selected 100 valuable comments from top five online shops’ using reports of Internet of things devices as the basis of the data analysis. Technology acceptance model (TAM) and familiarity and trust model1 (FTM1) were further conducted on these using reports to value why IoT technologies and applications is ‘perceived usefulness’ and ‘perceived ease of use’ used for health management. We found IoT applications are ready widely used in health management fields. There were significant positive advantages for ease of use. IoT applications were significant positive advantages for infectious disease symptom monitoring.
