Abstract: Abstract Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are prevalent urological health issues affecting billions of people worldwide. While conventional aids have unhygienic and cumbersome attributes, mobile health (mHealth) solutions have the potential to significantly improve the quality of life. However, knowledge of how LUTS patients adopt mHealth and how these solutions should be designed is scarce. In this study, we present an adoption model to explain and support the adoption of mHealth solutions by patients suffering from LUTS, and derived design principles to guide future developments of such mHealth. We, therefore, conducted a systematic literature review of 67 papers and followed an action design research approach with 32 expert interviews and a confirmative survey to build, refine, and evaluate the ex-ante model. The ex-post model consists of five categories and 28 sub-categories of mHealth adoption.
