Abstract

This study investigates how innovations are used in Nigeria to address these problems. We investigate participant demographics, the uptake of healthcare innovations, and opinions of improvements using a quantitative methodology. The participant demographics highlight the diversity of viewpoints within the Nigerian healthcare system, gathering observations from administrators, patients, and healthcare professionals. This variability highlights the need for multi-stakeholder collaboration and reflects the complicated healthcare landscape. Our findings show encouraging advancements in the uptake of medical advances. The adoption rates among healthcare professionals were notably high, mirroring the global trend of digitization to improve patient care and clinical decision-making. Similar to how healthcare managers demonstrated strong adoption rates, which highlighted how innovations were incorporated into administrative and policy spheres. The perceptions of improvements showed that stakeholders were in agreement. The greatest improvements were noticed by healthcare administrators and practitioners, probably as a result of their greater involvement with innovations. Patients' perceptions were a little bit more reserved, demanding specialized interventions to deal with issues like cultural acceptance and technology competence. Positive momentum is evident from comparisons to earlier investigations. Innovations are gaining traction in tackling healthcare concerns, according to higher adoption rates and upbeat opinions.
