Abstract

This study analyzes factors influencing user intention to use various smart health care services on the empirical level. The analysis shows that users of smart health care services have higher degree of effort expectancy and intention to use the service than non-users. Also, the high potential usages of the service are more positively correlated with the health enhancement, the performance expectancy, the recommendations from friends or family, and the perceived enjoyment or attractiveness of the service than the convenience of usage, the device compatibility with smart devices, and the personal innovativeness.
