Abstract

Previous studies mainly focused on the positive factors to understand mobile health applications (mHealth apps) adoption, but the reasons for older adult resistance to mHealth apps is absent in the literature. An integrated framework based on the technology acceptance model and innovation resistance theory was used to investigate the impacts of the facilitators and barriers on intention to use. Additionally, a mixed-method approach is used to develop new scales to measure health task management support.
