Technology Behavior Model—Beyond Your Sight with Extended Reality in Surgery

Abstract

Extended Reality Smart Glasses is a new pattern that uses extended reality technology to present a visual environment that combines the physical and virtual worlds. However, the surgical technique using Smart Glasses implementation is still unknown, to the infancy in clinical surgery, derived to the limits of existing technology. This study researched the acceptability and possibility of XRSG for medical experts. It combines human seen behavioral control with information technology research to construct a new “Extended Reality Technology Behavior Model” using method Technology Acceptance Model and Theory of Planned Behavior. To improve the accuracy of the study, statistical analysis, exploratory analysis, and cross-sectional research triangulation were used to collect data in five hospitals in Malaysia using a convenience sampling method and a questionnaire on behavioral influences. From the collected data, PLS-SEM analysis was used to reflect the relationship between variables. The strong positive results suggest that using XRSG by medical experts helps to improve the composition, interactivity, standardization, and clarity of medical images, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced procedure time and felt the usefulness and ease of use of XRSG through their behavior, providing a basis for technology acceptance in surgery.
