Study on the Factors Influencing User’s Acceptance Intention for Smart Medical and Health Care Equipment Based on UTAUT2

Abstract

With the rapid development of mobile Internet technology and applications, more and more people begin to pay attention to and deepen the understanding of wearable devices, especially smart medical and health care devices. At the same time, as the extension of the traditional medical equipment, the market potential of smart medical and health care devices is huge, so it has also been paid more attention and promoted by many related industries and enterprises. However, according to the survey report, it shows that there is lower user adoption rate for the device's usage. In this study, we construct the user acceptance behavior model of smart medical and health care device, and analysis the factors influencing the adoption of smart medical and health care devices on the basis of UTAUT2 (the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology). In the study, we will pertinently modify the original UTAUT2 model, and add the two new constructs, including the health concern as the key features of health care equipment and the socio-economic status to carry on the research analysis. It aims to put forward suggestions on the operation and promotion of the future smart medical devices industry through the research in this paper.
