? 2022 Elsevier LtdRecent studies have focused on how to develop air quality-monitoring systems through smart sensor networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. These works span a wide range of health research advancements in hospitals to improve air quality architecture and technologies, such as IoT-enabled gas sensors, hardware components and cloud computing. The benefits for comfort and productivity of good indoor air quality (IAQ) conditions in hospitals are an essential need. However, minimal attention has been paid to the review of the development of IoT-based sensory technology for proper IAQ in hospital facilities. Therefore, this study provided classification taxonomy for IoT-enabled IAQ systems and a systematic review of works concerning that classification to address the ambiguity in such trends. To this end, this study checked five databases: ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. A total of 926 papers from 2016 to 2021 were collected, and the retrieved articles were filtered in accordance with the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria to obtain the final set of 27 articles. The collected articles were classified into two categories on the basis of the aim and objective evidence across studies that fit the prespecified inclusion and exclusion criteria. The first category, which contained (n = 10/27) articles (37.03%), was ‘Integrated Indoor–outdoor Monitoring of Air Quality.’ The second category was ‘IAQ Contexts.’ This category contained (n = 17/27) articles (62.97%) and had five subcategories. Consequently, this study revealed new research opportunities, such as motivations, challenges and limitations and recommendations, which require attention for the synergistic integration of interdisciplinary works. Moreover, this extensive study listed a set of open issues and provided innovative key solutions, along with a systematic review, for IAQ-based IoT sensor deployment focusing on hospital facilities. The investigation of the recommended IAQ pollutants and parameters for hospital facilities depended on systematic literature and reliable organisations (Environmental Protection Agency, ISO and World Health Organisation). The required sensors for the most common pollutants and parameters, IoT hardware and devices and the required pollution thresholds utilised in IAQ for hospital facilities were highlighted and discussed. A set of available dataset information related to IAQ and the available resources were presented. The lifecycle of the context of IAQ phases was mapped for the first time, including the procedure sequencing and definition for each context to enhance IAQ-based IoT systems in future. We believe that this study is a useful guide for researchers and practitioners in providing direction and valuable information for ensuring proper IAQ research in future, especially in hospital facilities.
