To adopt or not to adopt mobile health applications? A study among Generation X mobile phone users in a developing country

This research extends the TAM by introducing novel constructs - PSQ, PXS and PPF - forming the E-TAM framework to analyze MHA adoption, a perspective not previously explored in the Malaysian context. From a practical standpoint, this study provides actionable insights to enhance the adoption of MHAs among Malaysia's pivotal Gen X population. The findings aim to guide the development of engaging and user-friendly mHealth applications to improve self-care capabilities and increase user satisfaction.
