Abstract

             This research aimed to study health technology perception through a case study of telemedicine systems and the influence of health technology perception. The researchers collected data from a total of 400 respondents, employing convenience sampling. The results of hypothesis testing by multiple regression analysis (MRA) revealed that the digital technology perception factors in four main topics were: 1) content quality, 2) operating system quality, 3) health service quality and 4) value perception was positively correlated with perception of digital technology at a statistically significant level of 0.01. This affected the willingness to use health technology services. Health service quality had the highest influence on intention to use, followed by perceived value and operating system quality. This research may be useful for governments and entrepreneurs, who can use the research results as a guideline to increase the level of intent of using health technology. Further research should explore more factors affecting intention to use other telemedicine systems, such as attitude and motivation factors for each telemedicine application.
