“…Consistent with Rahimpour et al [28], this study found that all variable relationships of the TAM model are significant. This implies that intention to use MHMS can be well explained through the TAM model.…”

“…The study further identified the sub-themes of "intention to use HTMS" as -self-efficacy, users' anxiety, and TAM based variables. It was noted that the easy use of HTMS may reduce the users' anxiety and strengthen users' confidence regarding their self-efficacy [28]. Hence, this study considers that the TAM model is suited to the investigation of MHMS issues.…”

“…There are two reasons why this might be the case: First MHMS users decide for themselves whether to use the technology, and this decision reflects their attitude toward the technology, which is influenced by "usefulness" and "ease of use" as the original TAM suggested [25,26]. As Rahimpour et al [28] pointed out, ease of use was one critical factor related to the use of the home telecare management system. Second, in related e-heath literature, "attitude" facilitated the intended conceptual response of studies [27,31], all of which retained the "attitude" construct in their administration of the TAM.…”

“…Furthermore, TAM has been evidenced and supported by many studies and widely used for explanation of the determinants of innovative technologies in tele-healthcare context [28]. Rahimpour et al [28] used focus group interviews to draw out the tele-healthcare themes and classify them into four major themes and 16 sub-themes identified from the participants' comments. Those four major themes are "intention to use the Home Telecare Management System (HTMS)," "the impact on patients' health management," "concerns associated with using the HTMS," and "the impact on health care services."…”

As their populations age, many countries are facing the increasing economic pressure of providing healthcare to their people. In Taiwan, this problem is exacerbated by an increasing rate of obesity and obesity-related conditions. Encouraging the adoption of personal health management services is one way to maintain current levels of personal health and to efficiently manage the distribution of healthcare resources. This study introduces Mobile Health Management Services (MHMS) and employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explore the intention of students in Executive Master of Business Management programs to adopt mobile health management technology. Partial least squares (PLS) was used to analyze the collected data, and the results revealed that "perceived usefulness" and "attitude" significantly affected the behavioral intention of adopting MHMS. Both "perceived ease of use" and "perceived usefulness," significantly affected "attitude," and "perceived ease of use" significantly affected "perceived usefulness" as well. The results also show that the determinants of intention toward MHMS differed with age; young adults had higher intention to adopt MHMS to manage their personal health. Therefore, relevant governmental agencies may profitably promote the management of personal health among this population. Successful promotion of personal health management will contribute to increases in both the level of general health and the efficient management of healthcare resources.

“…Prior tele-healthcare researches focused on the medical perspective to investigate the influence of the perception of technological artifact or satisfaction from the system use [27,31,34], which explore service value captured by their customers. Christensen, et al [7] pointed out that medical technologies have been helping hospitals and doctors solve the most complex problems instead of creating customers' value.…”

Tele-heatlhcare services extending healthcare services from medical perspective of treatment and diagnosis to enhance holistic wellness of individuals, have been widely recognized by healthcare providers. This study explored the trust in the healthcare providers to generate the trust-based service value chain framework in tele-healthcare services. We report the results of survey from 1304 members of a district hospital in 7 villages in two townships of a county in the middle of Taiwan. Four motivations were identified from literature review in the study, which are the perception of tele-healthcare value, the perception of medical value, social influence, and effort expectancy. These motivators were used to predict the intention of using tele-healthcare services provided by the service provider. We employed trust as a mediator in this framework. From the statistical analysis, we obtain the following results: (1) the relationship between effort expectancy and intention to use is mediated by the trust in the service provider (2) Social influence insignificantly affects trust; however, it significantly affects the intention to use tele-healthcare services; (3) The perceived benefits and medical value are significantly mediated by calculation-based trust in the service provider. From these findings, we suggest that trust built is critical for service value co-creation stage in tele-healthcare services.
