Abstract : The personal health record (PHR) is a system that enables borderless medical care services by combining
technological innovation and human consideration. This study explored factors affecting the adoption of PHR from
technical, medical, and social perspectives according to the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and Unified Theory of
Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. A survey using a structured questionnaire was subsequently
conducted, which produced the following results: (1) The PMT and UTAUT were effective at predicting PHR usage
behaviors; (2) Perceived ease-of-use was the most decisive factor influencing the use of PHR, followed by self-efficacy and
perceived usefulness; and (3) Behavioral intention for PHR was significantly and positively correlated with usage behavior.
From the obtained results, this study recommends that health authorities and medical institutions promote self-efficacy in the
use of PHR to improve the levels of behavioral intention and usage behavior among the people. Additionally, medical care
institutions are recommended to promote health management and preventive healthcare concepts to help improve public
acceptance of the PHR system as a means to self-manage their health. Finally, community centers, medical institutions, and
health authorities are urged to work together to enhance public medical knowledge and pool resources for the PHR system,
both of which are essential for improving the popularity of the PHR, public quality of life, and the effectiveness of health
management.
