In the mobile health-monitoring system, along with the features of mobility, it is essential to consider the needs from different types of patient. By concerning the traditional risk factors, there is a positive correlation between psychological factors and metabolic syndrome as indicated in the research. In this research, it is hypothesized that the users of blood glucose monitoring mobile system tend to have different aspects for acceptance of healthcare technologies from the normal subject. In terms of previous literature, we analyzed several adoption areas such as new technology, psychological and personal and identified the key factors for user to accept the blood glucose monitoring mobile system. Through a survey process, 462 valid questionnaires were collected and processed via SPSS 20.0 to have description statistics and analysis of reliability and validity. Smart PLS 3.2 was used for examination of research model and verification of explanation power. From the results, the users who accept new technology, the performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and habit have impact on users’ acceptance of blood glucose monitoring mobile system. From psychological aspect, users tend to be influenced by relative advantages, but not reference price and reference situation for blood glucose monitoring mobile system acceptance. From personal aspect, self-efficacy, trust, risk preference, health consciousness will affect the users to accept the system. Looking into the users’ behavior, facilitating conditions, habit and behavioral intentions have impact on the acceptance of the system from the users. According to the analysis results, the key factors are verified and explained in terms of influencing the users to accept the system. We hope the results will make contributions to the academic field and industrial companies.
