Develop and evaluate the mobile-based self-management application for tele-healthcare service

Abstract

The problem of the aging population and its likely impact on the provision of healthcare systems has been increasing. This study presents a conceptual model to explore and investigate the Mobile-based technology and the business model in enhancing chronic disease care performance. Some scales to measure Mobile-based technology and the business model were developed and validated; then they were used to collect survey data from respondents who had experience. In addition, this study has verified the entrepreneurial alertness as the moderator and influenced the relationship between Mobile-based technology and the business model. The empirical results support the proposed model and can potentially be used in advance of Mobile-based technology adoption for contemporary hospitals using the proper business model, and sensing the change for chronic diseases care. Among key managerial implications, hospital administrators must focus on alerting environmental change then creating reorganized capacities for Mobile-based technology implementations to ensure better care performance for chronic diseases.
