Mobile health (mHealth) facilitates a new form of doctor-patient communication, in which physical encounters are replaced by interactions through a mobile device. Although the potential of mobile health (mHealth) is extraordinary among the chronically ill, disabled and elderly, the implementation is still very scarce. As patients have many sources of information, investing in mHealth requires a previous knowledge of mHealth preference. The purpose of this study is to analyse preference and intention of using mobile health services by patients with chronic diseases.
