Abstract

With mHealth services possessing potential benefits and their advancement in health care services. The purpose of the study is to understand the adoption intention of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) mobile health (mHealth). The “Technology Acceptance Model” TAM was used as a hypothetical framework for this research. Data collected from 256 tribal diabetics attending a clinic were used to validate the model. The results show that both “Perceived Usefulness” (PU) and “Perceived Ease of Use” (PEOU) have a significant influence on the Adoption Intention and that PEOU has an influence on PU. User PU and PEOU can serve as a key factor for accepting mHealth, findings suggest that while making a mobile health service prioritising easy to use and usefulness of the application will improve the mHealth acceptance among the diabetic Mizo population.
