An empirical study on factors influencing consumers' motivation towards teleconsultation system use. A preliminary report about the Sehha application from Saudi Arabia.

Background: The use of the teleconsultation system has increased in recent years, which enabled healthcare providers and patients to share, communicate and transfer information in real-time via different types of telemedicine services and applications. However, there is a lack of studies that underpin factors that motivate patients to use teleconsultation systems.

Aim And Objective: This study aimed to identify factors that influence consumers' motivation to use teleconsultation systems by developing a theoretical framework and empirically testing the developed framework with a real-world teleconsultation system.

Development and validation of a new tool to identify factors that influence users' motivation toward the use of teleconsultation systems: A modified Delphi study.

Background: Healthcare providers have improved consumer access to healthcare services by the adoption of information communication technology and the use of telemedicine. With the current COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are shifting to remote teleconsultation. There are several studies regarding consumers' acceptance and satisfaction with telemedicine among healthcare providers and a few among patients at healthcare facilities.

Barriers and Facilitators That Influence Telemedicine-Based, Real-Time, Online Consultation at Patients' Homes: Systematic Literature Review.

Background: Health care providers are adopting information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enhance their services. Telemedicine is one of the services that rely heavily on ICTs to enable remote patients to communicate with health care professionals; in this case, the patient communicates with the health care professional for a follow-up or for a consultation about his or her health condition. This communication process is referred to as an e-consultation.
