This study examines the factors influencing users’ intention to continue using mobile medical apps within the framework of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. Through a combination of questionnaire surveys and interviews, the research finds that doctor-patient trust, Performance Expectancy (PE), social influence, and facilitating conditions significantly impact users’ intention to utilize mobile medical apps. Furthermore, the study reveals the moderating effect of doctor-patient trust on social influence, indicating an increased trust level during the epidemic, attributed to positive media coverage, complimentary medical services, and risk-sharing initiatives. These results provide valuable insights for the field of internet healthcare, COVID-19 response strategies, health information management, and the advancement of digital health technologies, spotlighting the pivotal roles of trust, PE, and social influence in fostering sustained engagement with mobile health apps. |
