The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) evaluates that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness predict tool use. The ongoing study investigates TAM for work-related tasks with Dub-Dub technology. It uses TAM as a basis for hypothesizing the influence of these variables on the use of Dub-Dub as a heart-preserving device while working. According to data from the Ministry of Health in Indonesia, deaths from heart attacks while carrying out activities are very high. This is a frightening prospect for workers of productive age, so there is a need for tools that can monitor heart conditions in real-time. Dub-Dub as a wearable electrocardiograph is expected to be able to reduce the death rate due to heart attacks in Indonesia. However, Dub-Dub does not replace the use of ECGs in hospitals. This study investigates individual user acceptance of Dub-Dub in the community as an effective heartmonitoring device. It develops a model of using technology for health. The contributions of this research are threefold. First, this research can help identify whether users want to receive Dub-Dub or vice versa. Second, this research will help determine the significant factors in explaining intentions toward Dub-Dub. An attempt was made to see whether attitudinal beliefs such as perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness are related to Dub-Dub adoption. Third, this study is among the first to use a technology acceptance model in telemedicine.
