There are high expectations for Mobile Health to transform health into a sustainable and prevention-based system. Unfortunately it has not reached its scale of adoption many had hoped for, due to the existence of adoption barriers. More insight into these barriers fosters adoption of mHealth and the innovation it can bring to worldwide healthcare. This study investigates the main barriers in the adoption of mHealth, their underlying causes and their breakthrough possibilities. All the data are gathered from an international and multi-stakeholder point of view. First of all we tried to identify the main barriers by doing an international literature study. Second of all we asked Dutch mHealth Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to rank the barriers to importance. These KOLs were from different stakeholder groups; policy-makers, users and developers. At last we asked the KOLs in interviews for underlying causes and breakthrough opportunities of the barriers. Eventually twelve main adoption barriers emerged. According to literature and to the KOLs the most important barriers are "Integration and interoperability" and "Business case". An underlying cause for the barrier "Integration and interoperability" might be the active closed power system of technology suppliers, which exists in the Netherlands. Furthermore there seems to be a difference in the importance of the barriers "Privacy and security" and "Conservative culture" when perceptions of Dutch KOLS and international literature are compared. Within the stakeholders-groups, the KOLs think differently about the importance of the barriers "Visionless development" and "Competing payment mechanism". The Dutch healthcare insurers could take a more leading role in the fragmented landscape of mHealth in the Netherlands, by strategically funding new initiatives that use open standards and deliver better value for end-users. Other chances might lie in the international cooperation between countries to overcome certain barriers.

“…Most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated the need for digital health (Fagherazzi et al 2020 ). The current progress in both research and practice underpin this impression strongly (Agarwal et al 2010 ; Raghupathi and Tan 2008 ; Vogel et al 2013 ; Wickramasinghe and Kirn 2013 ). Most of all, digital technologies make the promise to improve efficiency and communication, optimize or personalize medical treatment, support decision-making, empower staff, or remove boundaries, due to advances in data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), (medical) internet of things (IoT), mobile health (mHealth) and virtualization (Dimitrov 2016 ; Gopal et al 2019 ; Raghupathi and Raghupathi 2014 ; Safavi and Kalis 2020 ).…”

The healthcare industry has been slow to adopt new technologies and practices. However, digital and data-enabled innovations diffuse the market, and the COVID-19 pandemic has recently emphasized the necessity of a fundamental digital transformation. Available research indicates the relevance of digital platforms in this process but has not studied their economic impact to date. In view of this research gap and the social and economic relevance of healthcare, we explore how digital platforms might affect value creation in this market with a particular focus on Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft (GAFAM). We rely on value network analyses to examine how GAFAM platforms introduce new value-creating roles and mechanisms in healthcare through their manifold products and services. Hereupon, we examine the GAFAM-impact on healthcare by scrutinizing the facilitators, activities, and effects. Our analyses show how GAFAM platforms multifacetedly untie conventional relationships and transform value creation structures in the healthcare market.

“…Mobile health, also known as mHealth, is defined as medical and public health practice supported by mobile devices, such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other wireless devices. 10 New technologies, like smartphones, continue to have advancements such as additional data gathering and manipulation capacity. The widespread diffusion of these technologies and the continual improvements in this technology continue to change how health care information is accessed and delivered.…”

Korean American Smokers’ Perspectives on Mobile Smoking Cessation Applications

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: The primary purpose of this research is to investigate the adoption process of mobile smoking cessation apps for Korean American smokers with the eventual purpose of proposing a new combined model of smartphone smoking cessation adoption. Methods: From September 2018 to March 2019, a total of 227 Korean American smokers responded to surveys regarding the effectiveness of mobile applications for smoking cessation. A path analysis was used to analyze the predictors of adopting and using smoking cessation applications available via smartphones. Results: Perceived benefits and self-efficacy were important factors for influencing the perceived usefulness of a smoking cessation mobile app. Moreover, the perceived usefulness of a smoking cessation mobile app was also positively related to intention to use a smoking cessation mobile app. Conclusion: Although mobile smoking cessation apps can help many individuals quit smoking, most Korean American smokers are not current users of smoking cessation mobile apps. Therefore, there is a strong need to use strategic evidence-based communication interventions for promoting the widespread adoption of smoking cessation applications.
