Blockchain: a technological alternative in Morocco's healthcare sector

Abstract

Our paper aims to highlight the impact of trust, perceived usefulness and ease of use on the use of blockchain in the medical monitoring process of patients in clinics in Morocco.

In this regard, in order to further explore this topic, we opted for hypothetical-deductive reasoning and administered a questionnaire to 160 healthcare managers. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and Smart-PLS. The correlation results confirmed the impact of perceived usefulness on the intention to use blockchain; however, ease of use and trust were not determining factors in managers propensity to use blockchain in the Moroccan healthcare sector.

Furthermore, after presenting a summary of the method used, the identification of limitations presents a considerable advantage for researchers to leverage in order to further their future academic work.
