  • Descriptive statistics were used to measure willingness, while structural equation modeling (SEM) analyzed direct and indirect factors influencing willingness.
  • 76.7% of respondents are willing to use MediLinker for health information management.
  • Attitude towards MediLinker has a direct positive association with willingness to use it.
  • Perceived liability and vulnerability negatively affected willingness through perceived risks, whereas perceived vulnerability and severity positively influenced willingness via perceived benefits.
