Abstract

In gynecological care, mHealth (mobile health) technology may play an important role. Medical professionals' willingness to use this technology is the key to its acceptance. Most doctors utilize mobile health technology; however, there is still room for improvement in the use of mHealth. Gynecologists were asked to participate in this research to see how open they were to use mobile health technologies. In this descriptive-analytical investigation, the researchers determined the average scores for each variable. The overall mean for preparedness to embrace mobile medical technology is 1.8 out of 2, as shown in Table 1. When it came to their desire to embrace mobile health technology, doctors' years of experience correlated negatively with their age. According to our findings, the amount of interest in mobile health technology is high. Patients' private information must be protected throughout the usage of this technology though. Mobile health technology may effectively reach patients in remote areas, but it is not a substitute for face-to-face encounters with medical professionals.

Highlights

Introduction ere are around59 million healthcare employees in the globe, and according to one forecast, the need for health workers would increase to 80 million workers by 2030 [1].ere is a paucity of hospitals and specialty workers, clinical access to healthcare, and weak interaction between doctors and patients, in rural regions
In addition to monitoring healthcare progress, distributing educational materials, receiving tailored signals and support, and adopting self-management therapies, digital healthcare technology may be useful for a range of other applications. Mobile health technology (mHealth) has the potential to play a key role in removing geographical barriers to the delivery of healthcare, as well as giving the possibility to provide health services to everyone, everywhere, or at any time in the world [1]
A number of similar studies have shown that age plays a significant role in the adoption of mHealth technologies and that, as one’s age grows, the degree of acceptance of this technology diminishes. e findings of research by Guo et al (2018) show that apparent personalization among teen users may enhance the adoption of apps. e acknowledgment of mobile health technology was found to be significantly influenced by factors including effort expectation, behavioral control, social influence, and favorable settings which were shown to be relevant in the research by Hoque and Sorwar (2018)

Summary

Introduction

Ere is a paucity of hospitals and specialty workers, clinical access to healthcare, and weak interaction between doctors and patients, in rural regions. To close this gap, healthcare staff must go down a long and time-consuming route, which is not without its challenges. Healthcare staff must go down a long and time-consuming route, which is not without its challenges It is described as the use of all telecom equipment, including handy smart devices, to satisfy the demands of patients providing information services related to the field of healthcare (mHealth) [1, 2]. In addition to monitoring healthcare progress, distributing educational materials, receiving tailored signals and support, and adopting self-management therapies, digital healthcare technology may be useful for a range of other applications. mHealth has the potential to play a key role in removing geographical barriers to the delivery of healthcare, as well as giving the possibility to provide health services to everyone, everywhere, or at any time in the world [1].
