Identification of critical quality dimensions for continuance intention in mHealth services: Case study of onecare service

作者:

Highlights:

• Identification of critical quality dimensions for continuance intention of mobile health (mHealth) services has been rarely studied in the literature.

• This study identified the critical quality dimensions for continuance intention of mHealth services by analyzing the survey responses from 191 mHealth service users.

• Results show that engagement, content quality, and reliability had significant effects on continuance intention, while privacy and usability were insignificant.

• Results also show that the relative effects of the quality dimensions on continuance intention were not proportional to those on satisfaction.

• These results would help mHealth service managers allocate limited resources for effective and efficient improvement of continuance intention.
