Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) representing the online exchange of data from real devices is a major revolution that is transforming the whole of society. IoT has penetrated in the health field by facilitating healthcare exchanger for users and professionals. This article aims to examine several factors reinforcing user engagement. A theoretical framework was developed and includes the perceived autonomy, the desire for self-development, and the user trust to predict IoT user engagement in the medical context. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was conducted with a sample of 109 French users. The findings highlight the relationship between trust and engagement in the use of the IoT device to improve health behavior. This research is part of a long-term IoT customer/designer relationship based on interaction and trust. It can enable IoT providers, medical professionals, and marketers to optimize patient communication to target potential users more accurately and reduce user abandonment of devices.

健康物联网信任对用户参与的影响

物联网(IoT)代表了来自真实设备的在线数据交换，是一场正在改变整个社会的重大革命。物联网已经渗透到健康领域，为用户和专业人员提供医疗保健交换。这篇文章的目的是分析增强用户粘性的几个因素。开发了一个理论框架，包括感知到的自主性、自我发展的愿望和用户信任，以预测医疗环境下物联网用户的参与度。偏最小二乘结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)方法对109名法国用户进行了抽样研究。研究结果强调了信任与使用物联网设备改善健康行为之间的关系。这项研究是基于互动和信任的长期物联网客户/设计师关系的一部分。它可以使物联网提供商、医疗专业人员和营销人员优化患者沟通，更准确地定位潜在用户，并减少用户放弃设备。
