Abstract

The purposes of this research is 1) to study the factors influencing the intention to use the service innovation of “Mor Prom” application in Bangkok, and 2) to study the direct influence, indirect influence and total influence of variables affecting the service innovation of “Mor Prom” application in Bangkok. This research was based on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. Quantitative data analysis was conducted. An online questionnaire was used as a research instrument for data collection from the sample of 400 “Mor Prom” application users in Bangkok. Data were analyzed by Multiple Correlation Analysis and Path Analysis. The major findings revealed that the model was consistent with the empirical data. When individual factors of the model were considered, it was found that Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), and Intention to Use had positive influence to use the service innovation of “Mor Prom” application. However, technology anxiety had no influence on the intention to use the service innovation of “Mor Prom” application. The findings would be beneficial for relevant parties to improve and develop innovations in medical services, policy formulation to develop health information through other applications. Furthermore, the expected benefits include the development of medical information technology system to enable people to access health services through an application in a simple and easy manner, creating value in service and the efficiency of medical information services as well as medical communication for enhancing understanding and ultimately maximizing public interest.
