However, the integration of burgeoning technology leads to potential users' concerns for information privacy when using the platforms. Despite the digital health trend in seeking healthcare services through e-health platforms, the users' behavioural disposition towards e-health platforms in Malaysia remains unclear. Therefore, this study employed a quantitative research design to determine the users' attitudes toward e-health platforms. The data were collected by distributing an online questionnaire across various online platforms in Malaysia. A total of 378 valid responses from Internet users with experience in using e-health platforms were analysed using the partial least squares (PLS) algorithm and bootstrapping procedure. The findings showed that information privacy orientation was a significant predictor for all concern for information privacy (CFIP) dimensions: collection, unauthorised secondary use, improper access, and errors in e-health platforms. In addition, only the collection dimension was found to have a negative influence on users' attitudes. At the same time, the gender factor, posited as a control variable, showed no significant impact on users' attitudes towards e-health platforms. Conclusively, the findings offer significant empirical knowledge to future researchers, healthcare providers, and e-health platform developers to address the transparency over users' information collection and management to reassure users' privacy concerns in using the e-health platforms. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities is the property of Universiti Putra Malaysia and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
