Using Extended Technology Acceptance Model to Assess the Adopt Intention of a Proposed IoT-Based Health Management Tool

Advancements in IoT technology contribute to the digital progress of health science. This paper proposes a cloud-centric IoT-based health management framework and develops a system prototype that integrates sensors and digital technology. The IoT-based health management tool can collect real-time health data and transmit it to the cloud, thus transforming the signals of various sensors into shared content that users can understand. This study explores whether individuals in need tend to use the proposed IoT-based technology for health management, which may lead to the new development of digital healthcare in the direction of sensors. The novelty of this research lies in extending the research perspective of sensors from the technical level to the user level and explores how individuals understand and adopt sensors based on innovatively applying the IoT to health management systems. By organically combining TAM with MOA theory, we propose a comprehensive model to explain why individuals develop perceptions of usefulness, ease of use, and risk regarding systems based on factors related to motivation, opportunity, and ability. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the online survey data collected from respondents. The results showed that perceived usefulness and ease of use positively impacted adoption intention, Perceived ease of use positively affected perceived usefulness. Perceived risk had a negative impact on adoption intention. Readiness was only positively related to perceived usefulness, while external benefits were positively related to perceived ease of use and negatively related to perceived risk. Facilitative conditions were positively correlated with perceived ease of use and negatively correlated with perceived risk. Technical efficacy was positively related to perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Overall, the research model revealed the cognitive mechanism that affects the intention of individuals to use the system combining sensors and the IoT and guides the digital transformation of health science.
