Abstract: Technological innovations in healthcare are becoming more common and offer many benefits. Trust is a central for individuals' views about the efficacy and adoption of technological solutions to improve healthcare. In this study, we explore remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices and how trust in managing institutions and the technology shapes acceptance and adoption for improved healthcare. Data are collected from professional stakeholders (n = 198), managers in public and private organisations who are responsible for administrating RPM devices into the US medical system. We implement multiple imputation to correct for missing data and regression models for analysis. Results show that both dimensions of trust (institutional and technological) are strong predictors of attitudes about different public policy options. We also find that costs affect views of proposed policies. Our findings expand existing knowledge by illustrating the need to consider trust in institutions when designing public healthcare policies that involve innovative technologies like RPM devices.
