This study applied the modified technology acceptance model (MTAM) in information systems research to the using of telehealthcare technology in Taiwan. The MTAM posits that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of technology influence users' attitudes toward using and intention to use technology. Research subsequent to MTAM has added medical treatment experience as a factor in predicting attitude and behavioral intentions. This study test the validity of this MTAM model while applied to arrhythmia monitoring system via data collected from 220 users of telehealthcare technology product (Cardiac Arrhythmia Monitoring System).Path analytic results show that the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use are positively associated with user's attitude toward using, the perceived ease of use is positively associated with the perceived usefulness, the user's attitude toward using was positively associated with intention the perceived usefulness is not positively associated with intention, the information technology experience was positively associated with the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use, the medical treatment experience was positively associated with the perceived ease of use, but it was not positively associated with the perceived usefulness.
