Information Systems Success, and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study is significant in terms of
obtaining results on the usage of TAM and improves technology adoption literature. Data of 400 individuals were
tested by structural equation modeling within the scope of the research. The research revealed that the perceptions of
users about subjective norm, behavioral control, system quality, information quality, usefulness, and ease of use
have a positive effect on intention to use. The results of the study will be instructive in developing applications
displaying the effects of BDA on public. Determining the factors influencing consumer behavior can encourage
designers to create improved services, and support health industry to design work models.
