Cashless payments have become increasingly popular around the world because of their numerous advantages. More so, the cashless payment adoption has been escalated during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, there is a lack of holistic studies on the adoption and contemporary practices of cashless payments. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to provide a comprehensive understanding by identifying the participating actors and their crucial role in the payment ecosystem. Thus, the paper aims to address two research questions: i) Who are the participating actors in the cashless payment ecosystem? and ii) What are the determinant factors for the actors to adopt the cashless payment ecosystem? Through scoping literature review of 63 articles published in the last seven years (2015-2021), six participating ecosystem actors are identified with their determinant factors. The study contributes towards addressing adoption issues and serves as a basis for future empirical investigation.

“…ePSICONUT was designed and developed under a group modality, as well as online. It has been shown that focus-group interventions can be highly beneficial in promoting motivation and engagement in habit consolidation and changes, as well as in general self-care and decreasing negative emotions [ 48 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. This same need for closeness, support, and modelling may also have had an impact on why all synchronous media used in the programme tended to be the most preferred and used by participants.…”

The use of information and communication technologies in the health field is known as eHealth. Nowadays, the application of technological and digital tools for maintaining/improving physical and mental health is experiencing an exponential boom. These tools have been perceived as a powerful support for face-to-face therapies and lifestyle changes. Nevertheless, there is not enough scientific research that analyses the impact and consequences of eHealth interventions. More studies are needed to validate its application. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of eHealth tools in a programme called ePSICONUT. This programme was created to promote healthy lifestyle habits in university students. The sample consisted of 16 university students from the Dominican Republic aged 18–24 years (x¯ = 20.69; s = 1.74). ePSICONUT was developed in 12 weeks and its impact was analyzed by comparing the initial and the final psychological and lifestyle tests results, which were completed online by the participants. Results reported that the professionally supervised use of eHealth tools was associated with better psychological well-being, lees anxiety and depression, and better lifestyle habits (such as diet quality), even in stressful and changing situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic circumstances. However, more studies are needed to validate and promote the use of eHealth-based intervention programmes.

“…Various studies illustrate health self-management approaches using: goal setting based on personal preferences, ICT support and progress feedback (Kari et al, 2017;Lehto et al, 2013;Lopez et al, 2011;Wickramasinghe and Goldberg, 2010;Wickramasinghe et al, 2009). Elements like individual coaching, eTools like microlearning for health, QS (Swan, 2012(Swan, , 2013 progress tracking and peer coaching have all been shown to aid motivation and success (Simons et al, 2015(Simons et al, , 2016(Simons et al, , 2020. Generally, it is important that employees can create their own plans and priorities, while also using practitioner support (Simons et al, 2014).…”

Globally, the burden of disease is rising. High performance employees and organisations need to improve their health self-management options and skills. Unfortunately, there are an overwhelming number (>500,000) of new health publications every year. We aim to design a health AI on top of Scholar Google, to support rapid employee do-it-yourself (DIY) health improvement. Thus, we analysed user requirements, based on design analyses for two cases: hypertension and type-2 diabetes (T2D), two major diseases of affluence in our society, which are reversible with healthy living. We show how a hybrid AI may empower employees instead of medicalising them. To conclude, we propose a next level of quantified self for worker health self-management.
