Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to explore the cognitive and social factors influencing the usage intention of Aarogya Setu m-health app. This paper draws on extended technology acceptance model (TAM 2) to develop a conceptual framework to explain the factors influencing the usage intention of the Aarogya Setu m-health app.

The study suggests a framework which explains the factors such as “Perceived ease of use”, “Perceived usefulness” and “Perceived privacy risk” determines the usage intention of the Aarogya Setu m-health app, where as “Subjective norm” has no impact on usage intention. Four research propositions are postulated to promote the future research.
