Acceptance of Smart Contracts in Patients Receiving Primary Care: Exploratory Study
The results of this study have implications for health care providers who intend to adopt smart contracts early, that is, early majority or late adopters. To facilitate their implementation, providers should highlight the security benefits of smart contracts and leverage patient trust. Providers should customize smart contract implementation strategies based on patient demographics such as age, health status, and gender. By understanding these factors, health care organizations can more effectively promote the adoption of smart contracts and realize the potential benefits of this disruptive technology in primary care.
