Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2022 Dec 8;19(24):16485. doi: 10.3390/ijerph192416485.

Abstract

This study aimed to perform a path analysis to understand the effects of quality characteristics on perceived usefulness, perceived ease to use, involvement, and acceptance intention of healthcare kiosks in elderly using the extended technology acceptance model. We performed structural equation modeling (SEM) with data from 300 elderly. The following results were obtained. Firstly, elderly's perceived quality characteristics of healthcare kiosks had a partial positive effect on perceived usefulness. Secondly, elderly's perceived quality characteristics of healthcare kiosks had a partial positive effect on perceived ease to use. Thirdly, elderly's perceived ease to use healthcare kiosks had a partial positive effect on perceived usefulness. In addition, elderly's perceived usefulness of healthcare kiosks had a positive effect on acceptance intention. Lastly, elderly's perceived ease to use healthcare kiosks had a positive effect on acceptance intention.
