Hypothesis
What factors influence the technology acceptance of healthcare devices?
Conclusion
The study found that user attitudes and trust significantly influence the intention to adopt healthcare devices, with generational differences and device types playing moderating roles.
Supporting Evidence
- Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and perceived risk significantly influence user attitudes.
- Attitude fully mediates the effects of performance expectancy and effort expectancy on behavioral intention.
- Trust is influenced by performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and perceived risk.
Takeaway
People are more likely to use healthcare devices if they find them useful and easy to use, and their feelings about these devices can change based on their age and the type of device.
Methodology
The study used an online survey to collect data from users of radar sensors and wearable devices, analyzing responses with SmartPLS 4.0.
Potential Biases
The focus on specific device types may not capture the full spectrum of user experiences with all healthcare technologies.
Limitations
The study used convenience sampling, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
