This study aims to examine the factors involved in the technological acceptance of e-commerce among young university students. The research is focused on the articulation between the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by collecting secondary data and conducting a survey with 376 young university students, validated by using structural equations (SEM). The predominant factors and variables involved in the adoption of e-commerce by young university students in Medellín were identified. The results show that the attitude towards usage has a positive effect on usage intention because people consider a website to be useful and trust builds regarding usage intention, which will enable to make the transaction in an easier and safer way. In conclusion, perceived usefulness comes before attitude towards usage, and thus the main direct antecedent of the intention to use e-commerce is established.

The multicomponent Remission Evaluation of Medical Interventions in T2D (REMIT) program has shown reduction of hazard of diabetes relapse by 34-43%, but could benefit from improved ability to scale, spread, and sustain it. This study explored, at the conceptualization phase, patient and health coach perspectives on the acceptability, adoption, feasibility, and appropriateness of a digital REMIT adaptation (diabetes technology enabled coaching (DTEC)). Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients (n = 6) and health coaches (n = 6) to explore their experiences with the REMIT study, opportunities for virtualisation, and a cognitive walkthrough of solution concepts.
