Abstract
Mobile health can be a significant tool for improving population health,
particularly for chronic disease patients. However, the health of the users may
limit the full potential of mobile health application. The aim of this study was to
assess feasibility in using mobile health application among chronic kidney
disease in Hospital USM. A cross-sectional study was undertaken involving 100
participants using purposive sampling. The questionnaire using interview face to
face was used for data collection from February 2021 until March 2021.
Spearman’s correlation test was used to examine the relationship between level
of ability in using smartphone and level of readiness in using mobile health
application. The findings revealed that the majority 46% had good ability in
using smartphone and 78% was ready to use mobile health application. There is
significant, strongly, positive association between level of ability with level of
readiness in using mobile health application (r=0.4, p<0.05). In conclusion,
positive feedback from all respondents about mobile health application though
that not all respondents able to use smartphone by themselves but they still want
