Testing The Reliability Of A Measure Of Motivation To Engage With Telehealth Technology
Abstract
Telehealth systems and devices allow for the exchange of important healthcare data between users and practitioners (Malvey & Slovensky, 2014). To date, there has been little research on the motivation underlying engagement and adoption of telehealth systems. Given this, the present study tested a new measure, the mHealth Technology Engagement Index (mTEI), across two student samples (N = 191). Participants interacted with two types of telehealth devices or two types of telehealth interfaces, then reported their motivation to engage with these devices or interfaces. The purpose of this research was to establish the reliability of the mTEI and validate its usefulness across differing devices and interfaces. We also discuss the importance of developing a measure based on strong theoretical support.
