This study investigates the factors influencing user resistance to e-health services among older adults, focusing on the role of information inequality, digital distrust, low self-efficacy, perceived risk, and social influence. Structured questionnaires were used to gather data from 301 older adult participants, and the structural equation modeling method was used to analyze the results. The results show that digital distrust, perceived risk, and user resistance have a significant positive relationship, underscoring the significance of resolving trust and risk concerns in e-health interventions. The study also finds that the association between digital distrust and user resistance is moderated by anticipated regret, indicating that people who anticipate regretting not adopting electronic health services are less likely to oppose digital technologies despite their distrust. Surprisingly, the study did not find support for the hypothesized relationship between information inequality and user resistance, indicating the need for further exploration of this complex relationship. The study contributes to a better understanding of the factors influencing user resistance to e-health services among older adults, offering valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to promote the adoption of digital health technologies in aging populations.

Purpose The study aims to examine diabetic patients’ switching intentions toward self-monitoring blood glucose devices, incorporating perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, with switching cost as a moderator. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered questionnaire was developed using established measuring scales. Data from 321 respondents was collected and analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling approach. Findings Results indicate that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use influence switching intention. Switching cost does not moderate the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and switching intention. This study reveals important information for healthcare practitioners and device manufacturers. Originality/value The significance and originality of this study stem from its pioneering investigation into the switching intentions of diabetic patients regarding self-monitoring glucose devices through the application of the technology acceptance model, thereby addressing a notable gap in the existing literature on diabetes management and technology adoption, which has lacked comprehensive examination of patients’ transition behaviors in this specific context.
