“…This study has confirmed the relationship between facilitating condition and user acceptance. The findings of this study are in line with the findings from various context such as Mobile Health (mHealth) Services acceptance (Alan et al, 2018) healthcare wearable devices acceptance (Wang et al, 2020) Internet of Things acceptance (Almetere et al, 2020) academics' adoption of emerging mobile technologies (Hu et al, 2020) open source software acceptance (Alrawashdeh et al, 2020) Indonesian Complaint-Based Application acceptance (Rinjany, 2020) and patients' acceptance of ICT for diabetes self-management (Petersen et al, 2020). It can thus be suggested that information technology service providers need to be prepared with creative ideas to attract users to use e-zakat technology by providing an environment that facilitates the use of e-zakat technology.…”

Human dependence on information technology is growing stronger. Now, the Covid19 pandemic further strengthens human dependence on information technology. Although information technology is an important need for human beings, technology rejection syndrome will cause the investment made by the government will be detrimental. Not to mention if the rejection occurred during the Covid19 pandemic which required humans to commit social distancing. This study will identify the role of facilitating condition on the acceptance of e-zakat applications in Pahang, Malaysia. This study is a quantitative study and cross-sectional data were collected through non-probability sampling method. The findings of the study prove that the facilitating condition has a positive and significant relationship with the intention to use e-zakat.

“…Technology acceptance models offer a sound framework for examining decisions and behaviors regarding health technology use. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) comprises elements from 8 previously well-established models [ 17 ] and has been applied in recent studies examining the acceptance of information and communication technologies by patients with diabetes [ 19 , 20 ] and health care professionals [ 21 ]. The UTAUT summarizes 8 factors that directly or indirectly influence technology use intention or use behaviors [ 17 ].…”

Background An important strategy to understand young people’s needs regarding technologies for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) management is to examine their day-to-day experiences with these technologies. Objective This study aimed to examine young people’s and their caregivers’ experiences with diabetes technologies in an exploratory way and relate the findings to the existing technology acceptance and technology design theories. On the basis of this procedure, we aimed to develop device characteristics that meet young people’s needs. Methods Overall, 16 in-person and web-based face-to-face interviews were conducted with 7 female and 9 male young people with T1DM (aged between 12 and 17 years) and their parents between December 2019 and July 2020. The participants were recruited through a pediatric diabetes clinic based at Canberra Hospital. Data-driven thematic analysis was performed before theory-driven analysis to incorporate empirical data results into the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and value-sensitive design (VSD). We used the COREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research) checklist for reporting our research procedure and findings. In this paper, we summarize the key device characteristics that meet young people’s needs. Results Summarized interview themes from the data-driven analysis included aspects of self-management, device use, technological characteristics, and feelings associated with device types. In the subsequent theory-driven analysis, the interview themes aligned with all UTAUT and VSD factors except for one (privacy). Privacy concerns or related aspects were not reported throughout the interviews, and none of the participants made any mention of data privacy. Discussions around ideal device characteristics focused on reliability, flexibility, and automated closed loop systems that enable young people with T1DM to lead an independent life and alleviate parental anxiety. However, in line with a previous systematic review by Brew-Sam et al, the analysis showed that reality deviated from these expectations, with inaccuracy problems reported in continuous glucose monitoring devices and technical failures occurring in both continuous glucose monitoring devices and insulin pumps. Conclusions Our research highlights the benefits of the transdisciplinary use of exploratory and theory-informed methods for designing improved technologies. Technologies for diabetes self-management require continual advancement to meet the needs and expectations of young people with T1DM and their caregivers. The UTAUT and VSD approaches were found useful as a combined foundation for structuring the findings of our study.

“…The application of technology adoption models has been recognized as a sound foundation for the examination of health technology usage decisions and behaviors. The UTAUT is a model incorporating elements from eight previous well-established models [12], and has been applied in recent studies examining acceptance of information and communication technologies (ICT) by diabetes patients [14, 15] and/or by healthcare professionals [16]. The UTAUT illustrates that the key factor experiences with technologies ( Table 1 ) moderates associations between various antecedent factors and usage intention [12] or technology use [17], and influences technology uptake [18, 19].…”

(unstructured)An important strategy to understand young people’s needs regarding technologies for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) management is to examine their day-to-day experiences with these technologies. This study aimed to describe T1DM youth and their caregivers’ experiences and preferences regarding insulin pumps, sensor technologies, and related communication technologies based on a hybrid theoretical foundation, as well as to describe derived ideal device characteristics. Sixteen face-to-face interviews were conducted with young people and their parents. Data analysis included data-driven thematic analysis followed by theory-driven analysis (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology; value sensitive design). Initial themes derived from the interviews included aspects of self-management, device use, technological characteristics, and feelings associated with device types. Interview findings were congruent with factors from the two theories. Discussions around ideal devices focused on reliability, flexibility, and automated closed loop systems that enabled an independent life for young people and alleviated parental anxiety. Reality deviated from expectations, with inaccuracy problems and technical failures reported. Technologies for diabetes self-management require continual advancement to meet the needs of young people with T1DM and their caregivers. Understanding experiences and challenges with devices enabled us to identify theory-supported device characteristics useful for the designing of improved technologies.Extended abstract (structured)BackgroundAn important strategy to understand young people’s needs and preferences regarding technologies for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) management is to examine their day-to-day experiences with these technologies.ObjectiveThis study aimed to describe T1DM youth and their caregivers’ experiences and preferences regarding insulin pumps, sensor technologies, and related communication technologies based on a hybrid theoretical foundation, as well as to describe derived ideal device characteristics.Materials and MethodsSixteen face-to-face interviews were conducted with young people with T1DM and their parents about their diabetes technology use. A combination of data-driven thematic analysis in a first stage, and theory-driven analysis in a second stage was used to incorporate in-depth study analysis and existing theoretical literature. Relevant literature included technology adoption (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology/UTAUT) and value sensitive design (VSD) models. Based on this approach ideal device characteristics for young people with T1DM were summarized.ResultsInitial themes derived from the interviews included aspects of diabetes self-management, device use, and specific device-related technological characteristics and feelings associated with the specific device types (continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pump, flash glucose monitoring). The interview data delivered information congruent with all UTAUT and VSD factors except for one (privacy). Discussions around ideal diabetes devices focused on reliability, flexibility, and automated closed loop systems that enabled an independent and normal life for adolescents, and alleviated parental anxiety. However, in line with the previous systematic review, the interview analysis showed that reality deviated from these expectations, with inaccuracy problems reported for continuous glucose monitoring devices, and technical failures occurring in both continuous glucose monitoring devices and insulin pumps.ConclusionsUTAUT and VSD approaches were found useful as a combined foundation for structuring our study findings. Technologies for diabetes self-management require continual advancement to meet the needs and expectations of young people with T1DM and their caregivers. Understanding their experiences, as well as challenges with the devices, enabled us to identify theory-supported ideal device characteristics that can be useful in the designing and developing of improved technologies.
