本研究以群眾外包之概念設計出便於行動裝置使用之藥物服用知識系統，目的在提供使用者一個便於分享用藥經驗及了解相關知識的平台。使用者能透過行動裝置更方便的學習及分享，特別是分享服藥過後之副作用及預期外之症狀，這樣在使用者發現預期外之症狀時，便能參考其他人分享的經驗及知識，進而能夠與開立處方的醫師進行較有效且對等的討論。本研究更進一步採用整合行科技接受模式之模型來調查使用者對於本系統之使用意向。我們總共針對100位參與者進行調查，結果顯示(1)91%的參與調查者都覺得本系統容易使用且提高學習效率；(2)且年齡於26-45歲區間參與調查者中75%有較高的使用意願；(3)社群影響在本系統之使用意向中影響最為顯著；(4)本研究參與者中94%對QR code並不熟悉。

In this study, we use the idea of crowdsourcing to design a mobile-oriented medication knowledge system. This system provides a platform for users to share their experiences about drugs such as side effects and unexpected symptoms. It is expected that interested users would learn medication knowledge by their mobile devices conveniently. Suppose that a user has some unexpected symptoms, the user may learn from others’ experiences and has a peer discussion with the doctor. This study also adopted the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to explore factors that determine users’ intention to use this system. One hundred participants were surveyed, using an amended version of UTAUT model. Four of the findings about this system are worth summarizing: (1) 91% participants feel that it is easy to use and help people to learn medication knowledge efficiently, (2) 75% participants whose age ranged from 26 to 45 were with high intention to use it, (3) social influence is direct determinants of usage intention, (4) 94% participants are not familiar with QR code.
