Abstract	Background: The sustainability aspect of telemedicine remains unclear in the extant literature. Despite the significant advancements in telemedicine, the behavioral intention and the actual usage of sustainably driven telemedicine (SDT) among the elderly have yet to be examined. This research aims to address these gaps through the theoretical lens of the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). Methods: A self-administered survey was used to collect data from 340 valid respondents. The data were analyzed using the partial least squares (PLS) method based on structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: The result revealed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and social influence substantially influenced the elderly’s behavioral intentions, while environmental concern and trust were insignificant. Moreover, gender significantly moderated the associations between performance expectancy, trust, and behavioral intentions. Conclusions: The insights from this study can help telemedicine service providers, planners, government agencies, and policymakers develop and implement sustainable marketing strategies effectively. Additionally, this research contributes to the extant literature by unveiling the key constructs influencing the adoption of SDT.
