Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Brief Name: Survey on Acceptance of AI-Enabled Robotic Trolley in UCH's Rapid Response System

Objective: To understand the acceptance and use of an AI-enabled robotic trolley in the Rapid Response System at the University of Canberra Hospital (UCH)

Participants: Hospital staff, Patients, Visitors,


Methodology: Utilising the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2) as the guiding framework.

Data collection: Quantitative data will be collected through an online questionnaire

Description of the AI-Enabled Robotic Trolley: To effectively inform participants, a comprehensive depiction of a hypothetical AI-enabled robotic trolley will be provided.

Conditions observed and exposure: Participants' initial thoughts, reactions, and concerns about the proposed robotic system. The exposure involves presenting the features of the designed robotic system to participants before collecting their feedback through the survey.

Observational Data Collected: The study will solely collect data through an online questionnaire. There are mostly Likert scale questions, with three open-ended questions for further comments at the end.

Duration of Observation: Participants will be asked to complete a one-time online survey which takes around 15 to 25 minutes. The survey will be available for a specified period of 1 month.
