Association between the benefits and barriers perceived by the users in smart home services implementation

Abstract

PurposeThe article aims to identify the association between each smart home service category's benefits and barriers to their adoption. The results seek to identify efficient approaches that motivate users to adopt smart homes services and support suppliers to establish strategies to expand and optimize smart home technologies.Design/methodology/approachThe research used the chi-square test of independence to reveal the association between the benefits and barriers perceived by the users during smart home services implementation. Furthermore, the statistical analysis using reliable evidence based on 122 articles reported in the literature provides valuable knowledge for smart home implementation.FindingsThe results reveal which barriers and benefits in the smart home are essential for implementing each type of service. Therefore, the association between barriers and benefits with smart home services implementation can support the dissemination of smart home technologies.Practical implicationsThe article provides evidence to develop strategies for implementing smart home services, supporting companies with guidelines to be more assertive in disseminating smart homes technologies.Originality/valueUsing the literature as a data source and raising the associations through the chi-square test of independence, the methodology provides a high level of generalization and strong evidence regarding the association of smart home benefits or barriers associated with every smart home service.

Analysis of barriers and benefits associated with e-health technology applications

“…Brazil has developed health information and communication technologies, but the systems are fragmented and the actions to integrate them are still lacking (T8) (Fornazin & Joia, 2016). Lack of evidence on the specific factors affecting e-health utilization rates in Brazil (Alkmim et al, 2015), as well as other digital technologies (Fettermann et al, 2021;Nascimento et al, 2022) is an opportunity for fu-ture research. Besides, although there are several studies that address the use of e-health in Latin America (e.g., Díaz & Koch, 2016;Vaiaz Ruiz & Sanchez, 2019) and Brazil (e.g., Dantas et al, 2021;Guimarães et al, 2021), there is a lack of relevant studies that analyze the acceptance of these technologies by the Latin American population, and that can also be explored in the future.…”

Aceptación De Las Tecnologías De E-Salud:un Estudio De Metaanálisis

“…Capturar la interacción con los objetos inteligentes es fundamental para reconocer detalladamente el comportamiento de los usuarios (Matassa;Riboni, 2020). La aceptación de la tecnología por parte del usuario es un elemento importante para el éxito de nuevos productos y servicios (Calegari et al, 2018;Echeveste et al, 2017;Fettermann et al, 2021;Nascimento et al, 2022), así como para los servicios de e-Salud (Khalifa;Liu, 2004;Venkatesh et al, 2003). La literatura recoge diversos problemas relacionados con la falta de aceptación de las nuevas tecnologías asociadas a la salud por parte de los potenciales usuarios (Brewster et al, 2014;Hennemann;Beutel;Zwerenz, 2016;Sadoughi;Behmanesh;Sayfouri, 2020;Väisänen et al, 2015;Yarbrough;Smith, 2007).…”

Aceitação de tecnologias E-Health

“…Capturar a interação com os objetos inteligentes é essencial para reconhecer o comportamento dos usuários detalhadamente (Matassa;Riboni, 2020). A aceitação do usuário pela tecnologia consiste em um importante elemento para o sucesso de novos produtos e serviços (Calegari et al, 2018;Echeveste et al, 2017;Fettermann et al, 2021;Nascimento et al, 2022), assim como para serviços de e-health (Khalifa;Liu, 2004;Venkatesh et al, 2003). A literatura reporta diversos problemas relacionados à falta de aceitação de novas tecnologias associadas à saúde por parte dos potenciais usuários (Brewster et al, 2014;Hennemann;Beutel;Zwerenz, 2016;Sadoughi;Behmanesh;Sayfouri, 2020;Väisänen et al, 2015;Yarbrough;Smith, 2007).…”
