The research sample was selected using accidental sampling and snowball sampling techniques. The data obtained is then calculated by the TRI (Technology Readiness Index) value to measure readiness and the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) value to measure acceptance. The data was then analyzed with SEM PLS. The results of the study showed that from 220 respondents, the average readiness of pharmaceutical energy in Indonesia was dominated by the middle level (moderate) of 105 people (47.73%) and the average acceptance level of pharmaceutical energy in Indonesia was dominated by the high level (high) of 219 people (99.55%). The results of the PLS-SEM analysis showed that out of 10 hypotheses, there were 4 hypotheses that did not have a significant effect, the discomfort variable did not affect the perceived ease of use variable and the perceived usefulness variable and the insecurity variable did not affect the perceived ease of use variable and the perceived usefulness variable.
