Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing users’ adoption of internet of things-enabled healthcare devices by incorporating two new constructs, perceived product value and perceived technology accuracy, into the united theory of acceptance and use of technology. A total of 772 participants were surveyed using convenience sampling, and partial least squares-structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data. The results showed that all ‘united theory of acceptance and use of technology’ constructs, except for performance expectancy, had a significant impact on attitudes toward internet of things-enabled healthcare devices. Similarly, all constructs, apart from effort expectancy and facilitating conditions, substantially affected users’ intentions to use such devices. Perceived product value was also a significant predictor of attitude toward and intention to use internet of things enabled devices. Furthermore, the effect of perceived technology accuracy on attitude was significant; however, it was insignificant for intention to use internet of things-enabled devices. Age and gender were found to moderate most relationships. Moreover, attitude towards internet of things-enabled devices was proven to be a significant mediator, except for performance expectancy. The findings provide valuable insights for companies that develop and market internet of things-enabled healthcare devices for older adults.
