Resumo: Given the increasing use of the Internet and mobile technologies, this study is pertinent as it seeks to analyze the factors that determine the adoption of Mobile Health (mHealth). To that end, the proposed conceptual model integrates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2), Perceived Health Condition, eHealth Literacy and Perceived Health Competence as determinants of the adoption of mHealth. To answer the research questions, we used an online questionnaire administered to a non-probabilistic sample of Brazilian and Portuguese individuals who have or have not used mHealth. Data were analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS3 software. The results indicate that adoption of mHealth is heavily impacted only by some UTAUT2 variables. The 'Performance Expectancy' dimension was found to heavily impact the adoption of mHealth among both users and non-users.

Para isso, o modelo conceitual proposto integra a Teoria Unificada de Aceitação e Uso da Tecnologia - Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology - Utaut2, Condição de Saúde Percebida, e-Literacia em Saúde e Competência de Saúde Percebida como determinantes da adoção do mHealth. Para responder às questões de pesquisa, utilizou-se um questionário on-line aplicado a uma amostra não probabilística de indivíduos brasileiros e portugueses que usaram e não usaram mHealth. Os dados foram analisados por meio dos softwares SPSS e SmartPLS3. Os resultados indicam que a adoção ao mHealth é fortemente impactada apenas por algumas variáveis da Utaut2. Entre os resultados, destaca-se o forte impacto da dimensão da “Expectativa de Desempenho” na adoção ao mHealth, tanto entre os utilizadores como entre os não utilizadores.Con el uso creciente de Internet y las tecnologías móviles, este estudio se vuelve pertinente a medida que busca analizar los factores que determinan la adopción de la Mobile Health (mHealth). Para ello, el modelo conceptual propuesto integra la teoría unificada de aceptación y uso de la tecnología UTAUT2, condición de salud percibida, literacia en e-salud y competencia de salud percibida como determinantes de la adopción de la mHealth. Para responder a las preguntas de investigación, se utilizó un cuestionario online aplicado a una muestra no probabilística de individuos brasileños y portugueses que usaron y no usaron mHealth. Los datos se analizaron utilizando los softwares SPSS y SmartPLS3. Los resultados indican que la adopción de mHealth es fuertemente afectada solo por algunas variables de la UTAUT2. Entre los resultados se destacan el fuerte impacto de la dimensión 'expectativa de rendimiento' en la adopción de la mHealth, tanto entre los usuarios como en los no usuarios.This research was carried out during a doctorate program funded by the Fundacao CAPES -Ministry of Education of Brazil, through a scholarship.The authors would like to thank NECE -Research Unit in Business Sciences funded by the Multiannual Funding Programme of R&D Centres of FCT -Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia, under the project UIDB/04630/2020.Fundação Getulio VargasUniversidade do MinhoMartins, Nayra Leandro MiguelDuarte, PauloPinho, José Carlos M.20212021-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/1822/76650engMartins, N.
