Online survey with 1349 participants, which 1051 were complete included for statistical analysis, from a broad cross-section German population, addressing both users mobile health (mHealth) applications people without prior experience. SEM modeling based combination two theoretical frameworks: extended Unified Theory Acceptance Use Technology Health Protective Behavior Theories used assess Users Germany are mostly patients between ages 30 – 50 mental or endocrine conditions. General willingness use apps / DiGAs (mHealth fully reimbursed by social insurance) is high at 76%, especially if they governmentally certified, however only 27% respondents willing pay out pocket. With exception spike performance expectancy data security, lack clear differentiation apps. Perceived self-efficacy significant predictors digital interventions; age, attitude, e-literacy being key demographic predictors. A takeaway regulators, providers apps/ DiGAs, other stakeholders involved adoption importance negative beliefs early on, targeted communication around effortless usage services across age groups demographics, focus highlighting expected benefits app/ DiGA usage.

Abstract Background Increasing patient loads, healthcare inflation and ageing population have put pressure on the system. Artificial intelligence machine learning innovations can aid in task shifting to help systems remain efficient cost effective. To gain an understanding of patients’ acceptance toward such with AI, this study adapted Unified Theory Acceptance Use Technology 2 (UTAUT2), looking at performance effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, social influence, hedonic motivation behavioural intention. Methods This was a cross-sectional which took place between September 2021 June 2022 National Heart Centre, Singapore. One hundred patients, aged ≥ 21 years least one heart failure symptom (pedal oedema, New York Association II-III limitation, orthopnoea, breathlessness), who presented cardiac imaging laboratory for physician-ordered clinical echocardiogram, underwent both echocardiogram by skilled sonographers experience novice guided AI technologies. They were then given survey looked above-mentioned constructs using UTAUT2 framework. Results Significant, direct, positive effects all behavioral intention accepting AI-novice combination found. Facilitating expectancy top 3 constructs. The analysis moderating variables, age, gender education levels, found no impact Conclusions These results are important stakeholders changemakers as policymakers, governments, physicians, insurance companies, they design adoption strategies ensure successful engagement focusing factors affecting technologies used shifting.
