摘要:Augmented Reality (AR) technology and its applications in various industries and sectors has been increasingly popular and on-demand as the world approaches IR4.0. With its enormous and continuously progressive advancements in the healthcare industry, basic yet vital services like consultations can be further improved with the integration of technologies. This study proposed a TAM derived conceptual framework using the constructs Perceived Enjoyment, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use towards patient‟s actual use of AR technology application in aiding their consultations withtheir healthcare professionals. A survey questionnaire was developed and distributed via social media platforms to 539 respondents. All hypothesis proposed in this study‟s conceptual framework has been found significantly positive in influencing patient‟s eventual usage of AR technology application in facilitating consultations. These results revealed the interrelationships of the constructs involved, thus enhancing our understanding on the factors of AR to be used in aiding consultations sessions. The findings of this study have some important practical implications for the improvement of conventional healthcare consultation methods to improve patients‟ understanding which has an impact on their overall health compliance and outcome.
