Description
Summary:The reluctance of users in accepting technology will lead to underutilization phenomenon of ICT across the health sector [4]. [...]this study attempted to investigate the acceptance and readiness on telecardiology in depth and comprehensively by using a conceptual framework which integrated Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technology Readiness Index (TRI) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). According to the review of Godin et al., TPB was identified as an appropriate theory to predict behaviour and has been widely used in predicting healthcare systems adoption among healthcare professional [16]. The purpose of this study is to provide understanding on the potential users' beliefs and attitudes towards telecardiology and its influences on the intention of using telecardiology in future. Besides that, this study also shed lights on the influences of demographic variables (gender, age, level of education and income) on technology acceptance, technology readiness and behavioural factors in telecardiology adoption. 2.Research Method This quantitative research applied survey method to investigate Malaysian's perceptions of readiness towards telecardiology adoption. [...]the researcher recommended future study can be conducted in order to compare the differences of perspectives towards telecardiology acceptance between these two groups.
