Strengthening health monitoring: Intention and adoption of Internet of Things-enabled wearable healthcare devices.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Health self-monitoring technologies are gaining popularity worldwide, but they face low adoption rates in emerging countries. There is a deficiency in studies that have applied the value-belief-norm (VBN) model to understand the adoption of IoT-enabled wearable healthcare devices (WHDs). This study investigates the adoption of IoT-enabled WHDs among older adults in China, using the VBN model as a theoretical framework.

Methods
