Summary:This research explores how technologies are adopted and used in the health field, focusing on how people integrate these innovations into their daily lives. Different models of technology adoption in the field of health are presented with evaluation methodologies to measure the adoption of technologies in healthcare, including qualitative and quantitative approaches. The challenges and barriers that may arise in the implementation of technologies in hospital and health environments are discussed; the importance of considering ethical, organizational, social, and legal aspects in this process is emphasized. It is essential to understand how users perceive the usefulness and ease of use of technology, in addition to considering the influence of social factors, previous experiences, and psychological aspects in this process. In summary, the article highlights the importance of thoroughly understanding the criteria that influence the adoption of technologies in the health field and underscores the need for comprehensive strategies that address both technical and human aspects to ensure successful adoption of these technologies.
