Abstract
This paper explores and analysis the influence of e-Health technology design on intention to use m-Health informatics, from users´ perceptions, viewpoint, and experience. This study assesses the influence and the relationship between e-Health technology design as the independent variable (predictor) and the intention to use m-Health as a dependent variable. The results indicated that there is a direct significant relation between e-Health technology design and intention to use m-Health informatics. The results also confirmed that intention to use m-Health informatics is influenced by the perceptions of the user of e-Health technology in terms of the design approach, especially in relation to the navigation and the data presentation. This suggests that a well-structured e-Health technology design will increase the intention to use m-Health informatics.
