家庭远程医疗的成功取决于最终用户的采用，尽管技术发展迅速，但采用速度一直很慢。这项研究的重点是检查的重要因素，可以预测成功采用家庭远程医疗服务（HTS）的老年人。根据以前在远程病人监护、辅助生活技术和消费者健康信息技术接受度等领域的研究，确定了八个因素作为定性测试的框架。对生活在城市和农村环境中的老年人进行了12个重点小组的调查。研究结果揭示了七个预测因素在HTS的感知中起着重要作用：感知有用性，努力预期，社会影响，感知安全性，计算机焦虑，促进条件和医生的意见。研究结果为老年人接受HTS提供了重要的见解，并为老龄化市场的HTS战略规划，开发和营销提供了指导方针。
The success of home telemedicine depends on end-user adoption, which has been slow despite rapid advances in technological development. This study focuses on an examination of significant factors that may predict the successful adoption of home telemedicine services (HTS) among older adults. Based on previous studies in the fields of remote patient monitoring, assisted living technologies, and consumer health information technology acceptance, eight factors were identified as a framework for qualitative testing. Twelve focus groups were conducted with an older population living in both urban and rural environments. The results reveal seven predictors that play an important role in perceptions of HTS: perceived usefulness, effort expectancy, social influence, perceived security, computer anxiety, facilitating conditions, and physicians' opinion. The results provide important insights in the field of older adults' acceptance of HTS, with guidelines for the strategic planning, developing, and marketing of HTS for the graying market.
