In practice, however, this would require data regarding clearly defined diseases, such as atherosclerosis, which is rare, while related endpoints, such as the pathology of the heart and vascular system, or blood cholesterol, usually did not show a significant trend in the studies we reviewed.

All the other dimensions received a bad evaluation by users over the system usage, with small fluctuations from T1 to T2 that only had an increasing trend for “efficiency”, reflecting a slight improvement of the system, while “attractiveness”, “dependability”, and “stimulation” decreased markedly.

The exclusion criteria were to delete (1) items with factor loadings below .50, because loadings ±.50 or greater are considered practically significant and (2) items that cross-loaded on multiple factors with loadings greater than .40 [ 28 ]. 2.2.3.
