The study has examined the effect of user engagement (UE), perceived benefit (PB), and perceived risk (PR) of wearable sensor-based healthcare devices adoption. User empowerment (UEM) in IOT-enabled healthcare has been explored on the basis of two established theories, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Behavioral Reasoning Theory (BRT). A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 involving 361 valid Indian respondents and the collected responses were analyzed through NVivo software for qualitative analysis. SEM (structural equation modeling) was done for quantitative analysis and hypothesis testing. The findings have shown a positive association between UE and PB and between UE and PR. Again, the study has revealed that PB and PR positively influenced UEM. The study contributes both to existing literatures and making managerial decisions by establishing how benefits from wearable sensor-based healthcare devices can be explored by avoiding the perceived risk of the consumers and how they can get empowered with the same.

摘要

The study has examined the effect of user engagement (UE), perceived benefit (PB), and perceived risk (PR) of wearable sensor-based healthcare devices adoption. User empowerment (UEM) in IOT-enabled healthcare has been explored on the basis of two established theories, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Behavioral Reasoning Theory (BRT). A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 involving 361 valid Indian respondents and the collected responses were analyzed through NVivo software for qualitative analysis. SEM (structural equation modeling) was done for quantitative analysis and hypothesis testing. The findings have shown a positive association between UE and PB and between UE and PR. Again, the study has revealed that PB and PR positively influenced UEM. The study contributes both to existing literatures and making managerial decisions by establishing how benefits from wearable sensor-based healthcare devices can be explored by avoiding the perceived risk of the consumers and how they can get empowered with the same.
