The Mediating Effects of Hedonie Value, Health Interest and Utilitarian Value on Continuous Intention to Use in Glucose Monitoring Devices

Abstract

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices are medical devices that continuously measure and display blood sugar levels in real time. A small sensor that is implanted just beneath the skin, a transmitter that transmits data from the sensor to a display device, and a display that shows the blood sugar levels in real-time are the typical components of these devices, the user might be warned via alarms on some CGM devices if their blood sugar levels are too high or too low [1]. Examining the fundamental mediating effects of the hedonic value, health interest, and utilitarian values between significant antecedents and continuous intention to use CGM devices is the general goal of this study. By integrating several significant antecedents to the hedonic and utilitarian values research framework, the study expanded the hedonic and utilitarian behavioral decision research model by adding health interest variable. The key antecedents included are Safety, interactivity, Result Accuracy, User interface, Self Efficacy, and Personal Innovativeness. The study also intends to improve user's comprehension of CGM device adoption and continue intention to use, the methodology used in the study is suitable for using an online survey to collect data and answer the research questions, the methodologies are also conceptually and practically linked with previous research, the focus of this research is on CGM devices systems having qualities that enable users to foel upbeat while using them and to have a good attitude toward using them in the future. This study were to use a complete approach to examine the data in a quantitative analysis, an expanded hedonic and utilitarian behavioral decision research framework for the adoption and continues intention to use CGM device. 109 samples were gathered from an online survey and 100 valid responses were analyzed after eliminating 9 invalid responses, the structural equation modeling technique was adopted for this study, it enables simultaneous analysis. SmartPLS 4.0 and IBM SPSS version 23 were used for the analysis. The results of the analyses show that Safety, Interactivity, Self-efficacy, Result Accuracy, User Interface, and Personal Innovativeness have positive impacts on hedonic value, health value, and utilitarian value to adoption and continuous using CGM devices. The majority of the offered hypotheses are supported by this study model's adequate overall model fit indices.
