Technology in Society, 2021, vol. 67, issue C

Abstract: Providing health care services has become a challenge for the government, especially for emerging economies, which face huge resource problems. mHealth (mobile health) has the potential to reduce health-related problems significantly in the long run. It can be used as a preventive healthcare tool also. Despite the potential, minimal studies exist on the technology adoption of mHealth. There have been inadequate studies in the context of India. To find out the domains where studies can be conducted and after a thorough literature review, the study employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for the smooth running of mobile health services.
