Consumers' Willingness to Pay for eHealth and Its Influencing Factors: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the great potential of eHealth, substantial costs are involved in its implementation, and it is essential to know whether these costs can be justified by its benefits. Such needs have led to an increased interest in measuring the benefits of eHealth, especially using the willingness to pay (WTP) metric as an accurate proxy for consumers' perceived benefits of eHealth. This offered us an opportunity to systematically review and synthesize evidence from the literature to better understand WTP for eHealth and its influencing factors.

Objective

This study aimed to provide a systematic review of WTP for eHealth and its influencing factors.
