Abstract:
A recent report showed that the adoption rate of mobile healthcare is relatively low. Thus, a study for how healthcare professionals adopt mobile services to support their work is imperative in practice. An integration of TAM and TPB has considered both technological and organizational aspects in a complementary manner. However, while mobile healthcare is considered as an emerging technology with wireless features and often used in a voluntary motive. The service provision for pervasive usage and individual psychological state are critical in determining the system use. Accordingly, perceived service availability and personal innovativeness in IT are the major drivers for the components of TAM and TPB. This study thus proposed such a research framework for integrating these relevant components from a broader perspective. Empirical research is further conducted for examining its practical validity.
