Abstract

The proliferation of mobile communication and computing technologies in supporting highly specialized tasks and services in health care has made it increasingly important to understand the factors essential to technology acceptance by health care sector. This paper presents an empirical evaluation of Mobile Acceptance in Health Service using a multi-objective decision model based upon user judgments. Providing that health-related activities stand to benefit from Information and Communications Technology (ICT) endorsement, the evaluation involving data from three category hospitals is carried out to identify the priority dimensions of a mobile technology system in a health center service.
