“…This is actually in our future plans. Further, as longitudinal research on related topics is much called for, our plan is also to continue the follow-up surveys in order to complement earlier study findings [e.g., [52][53][54].…”

The importance of sustained physical activity in healthy aging is well established. To achieve sustained physical activity and exercise, related self-efficacy is important. Hence, solutions to promote self-efficacy for exercise among aged people are urgently needed. Digital wellness technologies provide a potential solution, but research on their potential to promote selfefficacy for exercise is scarce and more research is needed. To address this need, this study investigates how effective is the use of a physical activity application in promoting self-efficacy for exercise among aged people. Self-efficacy levels were compared between three different time points: before taking the application into use and after 4 and 12 months of use. The results suggest that physical activity application use can be effective in promoting self-efficacy for exercise among aged people as there was an improvement in most of the self-efficacy items as well as in total self-efficacy already after 4 months of use and this improvement was sustained after 12 months of use.

“…In this study, we examined the potential longer-term temporal changes in the use intention of digital wellness technologies and its antecedents in the case of the young elderly segment and physical activity logger applications. In comparison to our two prior studies (Makkonen et al, , 2021, we made three main findings. First, we found that our research model continued to perform very well in explaining use intention also after about 18 months of using the application by being able to explain about 83% of its variance at T3 as well as having acceptable reliability and validity at both construct and indicator levels.…”

Port Community Systems have become a staple technological platform used to exchange information between the public and private agents and entities involved in ship and cargo services within seaports. In this paper, the theoretical background of the Port Community System is provided, emphasizing the importance of its implementation, and stakeholder collaboration. Different models of introducing an integrated Port Community System in seaports are analysed using literature review and actual cases in some of the most prominent seaports.

“…The continued use of digital wellness technologies specifically by elderly or young elderly consumers has not been studied much. In [32], utilizing a smaller sample of the data used in the study at hand, the researchers studied continued use over an 18-month period, and found through PLS-SEM that UTAUT2 explains use intention well. The effects of hedonic motivation and habit emerged as significant, whereas the effect of social influence was not.…”

Digital wellness is a multi-disciplinary domain that makes use of digital and mobile technologies in order to provide personalized services for the users to improve their mental and physical well-being. In order to understand the main drivers of continued usage of digital wellness services, we make use of the wellestablished Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) and extend it by considering user's technology readiness (TR). Survey data is collected from 162 Finnish young elderly who participate in a research program and use a digital wellness application.With Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis combinations of UTAUT2 dimensions and TR that lead users to continue or stop using digital wellness services, are identified. The results show that technology readiness can contribute to our understanding of users' continued usage behavior, both as an independent dimension and when combined with some of the UTAUT2 dimensions. Contrasted with previous research, our study confirms the importance of Effort expectancy whereas the impact of Performance expectancy is found to be less direct.
