A Proposed Framework to Investigate the User Acceptance of Personal Health Records in Malaysia using UTAUT2 and PMT

Abstract

Personal Health Records (PHRs) can be considered as one of the most important health technologies. PHRs enroll the patients directly to their health decision making through giving them the authority to control and share their health information. Testing the user acceptance toward new technology is a vital process. Over the previous decades many models have been used and the latest one was UTAUT2. UTAUT2 have been widely used in e-business and gaming user acceptance researches, whereas, it has been rarely used in health field. This study proposes a combination of UTAUT2 and PMT in order to investigate the user acceptance of PHRs. Relevant factors may be added at the literature review stage. The final model will be used as a framework to investigate the user acceptance of PHRs in Malaysia.
