N2 - The rapid shift to digital healthcare, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, holds promise for sustainable healthcare delivery and climate change mitigation. This study evaluates the Alltid öppet application through the lens of usability and patient satisfaction and their correlation with the intention for continued use. A cross-sectional analysis of primary care patients revealed that alignment with user needs significantly predicts long-term adoption, while frustration during use discourages it. Ease of use did not significantly affect the intention to continue, suggesting that usability alone is insufficient to drive sustained engagement. These findings highlight user-centred design's importance in digital healthcare solutions, suggesting that enduring adoption hinges on value perception and reducing user frustration. As the healthcare sector navigates its digital future, this study offers crucial insights into the design and implementation strategies that could underpin the environmental sustainability and resilience of healthcare systems.
