Abstract
With an increasingly aging population in China, chronic diseases associated with aging cannot be ignored. Mobile health (mHealth) applications have shown potentials because of their ease of use and convenience. However, mHealth is still in its early stage of development and its adoption rate has not been noticeably improved in China. The growth of is contingent on its adoption by users especially by elderly users, and therefore a study is warranted to investigate factors influencing users' intention to adopt mHealth. This study is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2. Wide range of factors from behavior to cultural background to government health policy being considered, this research was carried out among the elderly in China to understand influencing factors on users' intention to adopt mHealth. The research findings will facilitate the development of strategies for mHealth and provide a reference for perfecting medical service system for the elderly by the government, meet the growing demand for medical services by the aging adult, and ultimately improve the health of the aging adult.
