Continuance usage intention model of physical activity tracking technology

In eHealth, physical activity (PA) tracking technology exists that can assist people in monitoring their PAs. However, long-term use is the cornerstone of information technology (IT) product and service success; otherwise, it is a failure. Then, persistence becomes a factor of concern and it fades a...
