The impact of confidentiality and privacy concerns on behavioral intention to adopt electronic personal health records among chronic patients in southwest Ethiopia in 2023: an application of the UTAUT2 model
Less than half of the surveyed patients intended to use e-PHRS. The result confirmed the significant impact of confidentiality and privacy concerns on e-PHRS adoption. As a result, this study demonstrates that confidentiality and privacy concerns are two main challenges that stakeholders and program developers should consider during the implementation of e-PHRS in low-income countries.
