Home telehealth acceptance model: The role of innovation

Abstract

This study aims at exploring the role of user innovativeness in the home telehealth acceptance model, clarifying whether innovativeness is the antecedent to or moderator of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM); it also aims to discover the influences of related discussion on user acceptance. The results show that innovation is both the antecedent to and the moderator of TAM. Attitude toward using home telehealth services could be enhanced through improvement of individual innovation. Suggestions are proposed for individuals with high or low innovation, respectively.

Factors that Drive the Adoption of Telemedicine in Older People

“…The research model proposed for the study is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance of Technology Use (UTAUT), presented by Venkatesh (2003), and the Price construct. This is due to past studies that had conclusive results when applying this model or some variation of it (Cimperman et al, 2016;Huang and Lin, 2014;Napitupulu et al, 2021;Tsai, 2014), so it is expected that at least part of its variables or constructs, in general, are significant in the Chilean context. Figure 1 presents the research model proposed for this study.…”
