Paper Abstract:
|
Japan is currently the most rapidly aging country in the world, and it is equipped with the most sophisticated ICT
infrastructure. Japan introduced mandatory specific health check-ups and specific health consultations in April 2008, with
the purpose of decreasing medical costs through the prevention of the lifestyle-related diseases. As a result, the Personal
Health Record, which refers to the individuals self-measurement and maintenance of personal health data, has been
receiving increasing attention. This study examines the factors that affect users intention to use the PHR service on an
ongoing basis using the Technology Acceptance Model. Based on the factor analysis results, aspects of the e-Health
service are investigated that can help to propagate the system in the future. |
